World Cup talk with some Vermentino

Vermentino is a well known white grape varietal in Italy and is very important in Tuscany and Sardinia.  Today I open up a delicious Vermentino from Sardinia.   Think Mediterranean vibes with some tropical notes and zesty-ness coming through. Located in the southwestern corner of Sardinia, Cantina Mesa is in an area called Sant'Anna Arresi. Created by Gavino Sanna, Italy's most celebrated and awarded advertising professional, Cantina Mesa was born to create something extraordinary, unique and simple.    Tune in now as I taste this bottle, give you details on Cantina Mesa and talk about the Curacao game against Germany.   Happy World Cup and cheers to another episode!     1:45 - Introduction to the producer 2:50 - Left on the lees for 4 months 4:25 - Advertising professional 5:00 - Different dialects 5:30 - Why it's called Mesa 6:55 - Visual analysis 7:12 - Olfactory analysis 8:08 - Tasting notes 9:55 - Perfect for watching the World Cup 10:45 - Cheers to Curacao     Today's wine: Cantina Mesa Giunco Vermentino di Sardegna 2023 $25 CANTINA MESA    Connect with me on IG @sipandgrowpodcast   Get your FREE Wine Aroma Wheel at https://stan.store/nicoledipasquale    Check out my Italian Wine Guide at https://stan.store/nicoledipasquale
