Our latest restaurant wine list rescue and our first contender for White Wine Value of The Year is wound up little Vermentino from Piero Mancini. Why is Vermentino at the top of so many Michelin-starred wine lists?
Well – there’s a very special thing that happens when Vermentino is grown in the proper place, within the nearly constant salt water sea breezes. It takes on a salty, minerality that helps it pair so beautifully with great cuisine. Take it one step further and pair it with fresh seafood – and the whole experience is just lights out.
Nowhere is Vermentino better than within the Gallura region in Sardinia and few if any in Sardinia do it better than Piero Mancini. The prized jewel of his lineup, the Vermentino di Gallura, is a wonderful expression of the unique terroir from which its created– granite dominated soil set near the ocean in the Mediterranean.
It’s a glowing wine- one that is simply delightful to drink. Bright, vibrant notes of white peach, nectarine and candied apple with hints of the ocean brine, a chiseled backbone and a wonderfully tight finish.

The 2019 Vermentino di Gallura presents a seductive bouquet of ripe peaches and pears offset by hints of brown spice and white smoke. It’s medium-bodied yet deeply textural, ushering in a soothing wave of ripe orchard fruits, motivated by a core of juicy acidity. Nothing is out of place in this harmonious Vermentino as it finishes savory, salty and bristling with underlying tension. Give the 2019 another year of cellaring, and then enjoy with abandon.

It’s an electric white Burgundy, with a limestone-laced aromatic profile of green apple, pear and hazelnut. Refined and high-toned, the pure, delicious fruit that is a hallmark of this terrific vintage, finishes long and fresh, with a mile-long mineral streak.
For years now, I’ve been absolutely delighted by the White Burgundies at Domaine Corsin. There’s really good reason for that. The Corsin’s holdings in Pouilly-Fuissé include many of the best situated sites in the appellation. This wine comes from a selection of older vines grown in these limestone soils. The current vintage is simply showing fantastic at the moment. The 2020 Corsin Domain’s Pouilly-Fuissé ‘Vieilles Vignes’ displays a bright golden hue with a hint of green. Its subtle bouquet with a woody-vanilla note enhances the slightly sharp, sophisticated fullness on the palate mingled with a generous underlying impression of toasted bread.

Of course, the Trefethens’ Chardonnay history is well documented. It dates back to the Judgement of Paris and the 1979 Wine World Olympics hosted by the French publication Gault & Millau, where their Chardonnay finished first overall. That pursuit of excellence is still just as strong as ever, as evidenced by the family’s most recent Chardonnay bottling. It’s a 93-point beauty that absolutely dazzles, especially at its incredibly modest price tag.
It’s hard to beat a great value white wine and this one is a at least a cut above the rest. One prominant industry insider called the 2022 edition, “the best white wine by any within $20/cs of this price.” It’s super crisp with a great mineral streak, and was carefully picked by hand when the temperature is coolest and is kept cool all the way into the press. From there, the effect of the mineral soil takes over, providing great finesse and freshness in every bottle. This white blend has great backbone and a lot of juicy fruit coming through behind aromas of flowers and stone fruits. At this price, it’s a no brainer.
