Top 100 Best Buys 2011

Uvaggio is making a serious case for Lodi Vermentino. This bottling is compelling: savory with herb and green olive notes, and yet freshly fruity and delicate, well integrated and plenty acidic to stand up to a wide range of food, even given its modest 11% alcohol level. A stunner that’ll keep you thinking, and asking for more. — V.B. (4/1/2011)

Uvaggio 2010 Vermentino (Lodi)

Best Buy

Price $14

Anyone intrigued by the array of alternative whites being produced in California right now should know about this wine, an incredibly priced, low-alcohol sipper that’s also complex enough to pair with a range of lighter foods. Its aromas of apricot and sweet peach are most inviting, and the wine also has a saltiness layered around its acidity that hits in the… — V.B. (2/1/2012)

Capichera 2006 Vendemmia Tardiva Vermentino (Isola dei Nuraghi)

Price $84

The producer claims this is the first Vermentino in the world to be aged in barrique. Indeed, this is a spectacular late-harvest wine (not sweet though) with full and generous tones of apricot and honey. This is a big and bold white wine that can still use another few years of cellar aging. — M.L. (9/1/2009)

Cantina Santadi 2002 Cala Silente Vermentino (Vermentino di Sardegna)

Editors' Choice

Price $16

Off-gold in color, but not overdone. This is a near-perfect rendition of Vermentino; it’s powerful but restrained, with warm aromas that conjure memories of baked apple and spice. The palate is sly and dry, with cinnamon notes supporting lemon and pineapple. A rich, creamy finish cements this wine’s reputation as a leader in its class. — M.S. (8/1/2004)

Antinori 2001 Guado al Tasso Vermentino (Bolgheri)

Price $18

In only its second vintage in the U.S., this nutty, mineral-rich, immensely fruity wine from Antinori’s coastal estate is a great example of the heights that Vermentino can achieve. This version is full of lime, stone, citrus and marzipan, and is focused from beginning to end — M.S. (8/1/2002)

Capichera 2005 Santigaini Vermentino (Isola dei Nuraghi)

Online Exclusive

Here’s a unfiltered oak-aged Vermentino (it spends three years in wood) with a slight haze to its appearance and superrich aromas of mature fruit and honey. The wine is elegant and dense and will reward you with an unforgettable experience. — M.L. (9/1/2009)

Capichera 2007 Classico Vermentino (Isola dei Nuraghi)

Price $73

Capichera’s Vermentino has been in production for more than 20 years. The wine is evolved, complex and sophisticated and promises a long aging future ahead. The aromas recall apricot, peach and honey. — M.L. (9/1/2009)

Terre del Marchesato 2007 Papeo Vermentino (Tuscany)

Editors' Choice
Online Exclusive

Price $30

This is an impressive, oak-aged expression of Vermentino in a world that usually sees this variety fermented in a simple, fresh manner. This wine has a bigger ideal in mind: To be an important Italian white and it achieves its objective beautifully. Pair it with lobster or white meat. — M.L. (12/15/2010)
