Agricola Punica, Isola dei Nuraghi IGT (Sardinia, Italy) “Samas” 2023 ($22, Kobrand)

The inclusion of Chardonnay (20%) into this Vermentino-heavy blend adds richness without destroying the saline minerality of the Vermentino. Rounder than most Vermentinos, it’s a fine choice for those who look for more umph in that variety. It is a good choice for grilled swordfish.
