Wine Tasting Notes
Costamolino is straw yellow in color with green highlights and an intense yet delicate bouquet that displays distinct varietal characteristics. Supple aromas of citrus, pineapple, tropical fruits and honey are wonderfully supported by a zesty acidity. Delicate and pleasantly refreshing on the palate, Costamolino is the wine of choice for many dishes, from fish antipasti and pastas to vegetables terrine, salads, white meat casseroles, and risotto. Delicious with Asian food and sushi read more...

Reviews for 2008 Vintage
Great wine with the garlic-parsley shrimp and pasta. Bright, young, peach-dominant Vermentino with gentle lemon acidity and a touch of tropical fruit.
Perhaps the finest VERMENTINO I have ever tasted) exhibits ripe, exotic fruit (banana, pear, mango, and lemons) and salty sea breeze-like notes.The irresistible 2007 Vermentino di Sardegna is made in a very pure, nuanced style, with plenty of detail to balance its generous fruit. This gorgeous white offers outstanding length and notable harmony. It is far from your typical Vermentino. I actually preferred it slightly to the estate's more important Is Argiolas bottling.

Tasting Notes - Yellow in color with a slight greenish tinge. Subtle, intense and delicate bouquet with good primary and secondary aromas. Fresh, dry, well-defined palate with pleasant delicacy and crispness.
Nick's Pick! Our top selling white import has been well reviewed with both Robert Parker and Wine Spectator for the last several years and we believe this vintage will again, receive great responses from the critics. Straight forward, two dimensional, palate cleansing white with bright acidity and minerality and so much vitality that it almost seems effervescent. Great hot weather wine from the Island of Sardegna.
Made from 100% Vermentino grown in the Costamolino vineyard, located 625 feet above sea level. The grapes are harvested in September and vinified in temperature-controlled, stainless steel tanks. Costamolino is straw yellow in color with green highlights and an intense yet delicate bouquet that displays distinct varietal characteristics. On the palate it is delicate and pleasantly refreshing.
Rating: 85/100 - As reviewed by Wine Spectator on 06/02/2010.
