$17
Piero Mancini first started making wine in Sardegna in 1956. At the time, he was a dentist and over the next few years he left his practice and planted his own vines, now up to 75 hectares, and began making his own wines with his family.
He makes his wines in the town of Olbia, the political center of the Gallura area, in the North of Sardegna. Vermentino in Gallura is some of the best in the world. It is rich yet delicate and has extraordinary aromatics that range from fruits to the sea. The Mancini wine is a very complete wine, excellent during a meal. Try it with fregula (Sardinian couscous) with some fresh seafood and saffron. By the way, Gallura on the coast also boasts some of the best seafood in Italy.
