This month's wine class? "The Grapes Less Traveled". A sampling of lesser known grape varietals. Dolia Vermentino de Sardgna was the first of four white wines served and featured the Vermentino grape.
Chucky's Score: 88
Grape Varietal(s): 100% Vermentino
Retail Price: $12.99
Vintage: 2009
Producer: Cantine di Dolianova
Alcohol: 12.5%
Calories: 88 per 4-ounce
Other: Their website does not include this particular wine.
Tasting sheets as follows.
Tiffany and I were but a single point difference in our scoring. We both sensed peach on the nose but she added melon whereas I included lemon. We had similar tastes detected on our palates. I rated it 1-point higher on nose intensity and Tiffany rated it 1-point higher on both fruit intensity and taste characteristics.
The label reads as follows:

Interesting that we both paired this wine with cheese and salty foods. It is a crisp Summer wine and opened up a wee bit after some breathing. A most interesting and pleasurable grape varietal indeed.
