Cantina Mesa Opale Vermentino di Sardegna DOC 2023

A refined and aromatic Vermentino, Opale showcases notes of citrus, white flowers, and a hint of tropical fruit; on the palate, it is fresh and balanced with a vibrant acidity and a subtle minerality, making it a match for seafood, shellfish, and light Mediterranean dishes Tasting Note: Deep straw-yellow with green reflections; intensity, richness, and complexity; ripe yellow-fleshed fruit, notes of Mediterranean scrub and iodine that intriguingly blend with hints of sweet spices and pastry; the entry is sumptuous and rhythmic at the same time; the glyceric contribution creates a silky texture that forms harmony and balance in the encounter with freshness and sapidity; a finish with underlying energy that invigorates the aromatic return of fruit and medicinal herbs Pairing: First courses with strong flavors, grilled or well-seasoned fish, white meats, medium-aged cheeses
