Andy's Pick

We often talk about summer wines as wines that you can chill ice cold and they still taste like something. Wines with flavor and texture (and value) that can take a chill and still show their stuff. This wine is to set dad up with something to cool off this summer. Grab him a couple of these and let him know to keep 'em cold and have them ready after any outdoor chores he's got.  

 Mario Bagella is a second-generation winemaker whose family has grown grapes for longer than anyone knows. Since taking over, Mario has led a conversion to organic farming and spurred a more low-impact approach in the winery. In northern Sardinia, the Sorso area boasts some of the most intensely limestone and chalk influenced soils in Italy, and Mario’s Vermentino is the perfect lens through which to inspect this mineral signature.
