VERMENTINO
CERTIFIED ORGANIC
Inspired by Kermit’s suggestion, vigneron Jonathan Sack set to planting a hectare of Vermentino, using sélection massale vines from Clos Canarelli at Corsica’s southern tip. Also inspired by Provençal heroine Dominique Hauvette’s pioneering use of concrete eggs to age her white wines, Jonathan decided to employ similar vessels—sandstone amphorae—to age this Vermentino with the goal of preserving and enhancing as much of its inherent elegance, minerality, and aromatic brilliance as possible. I recently opened a bottle of this pure Vermentino alongside oysters on the half shell—a perfect pairing—but Jonathan also recommended sea bream carpaccio, an array of antipasti, and grilled fish. It is a seafood lover’s dream wine. —Tom Wolf, Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant
