Riccardo Arrigoni 2003 Ampelos Vermentino (Colli di Luni)
- $17
This Ligurian Vermentino is very clear and light, almost the polar opposite of the meaty, warmer styles that come from Sardegna or the Maremma. But still it pours on lime, mineral and stony notes, and ultimately it’s a healthy, crisp wine that will cut through vinaigrettes and garlic like a hot knife through butter.
