The approach to Vermentino is to embrace the fruit and there is fruit aplenty. Fresh-cut apples, stone fruits and citrus with a splash of tropical mango are delivered with some style igniting the aroma and fleshing out the palate. A lemon pastille sweet note threads the middle palate. Acidity wields a purposeful presence delivering a bright young white just asking for early drinking.
