Argiolas Cerdena Vermentino di Sardegna DOC

Vermentino di Sardegna DOC, Italy

Named for the ancient Roman settlement of Serdiana. Aged four months on fine lees in stainless steel, building creamy texture without losing varietal freshness. White flowers, lemon verbena, peach stone, and a long saline finish. One of Sardinia's most characterful whites.

Pairing intelligence

• main: The wine's umami-aligned bitterness and saline minerality match the fish's intensity; the lees-derived creaminess balances the garum's fermented depth.
• main: Classic Sardinian regional affinity — Vermentino's bitter-citrus profile is the traditional companion to fregola con arselle; the saffron harmonises with the wine's floral notes.
