Tosco's word
Mantellassi's Vermentino at €9.37 (instead of €10.57) is made for you if you're looking for a light, Mediterranean white for fish or shellfish without breaking the bank, and it has the two bicchieri to reassure you. La Lastra's Vernaccia, at €16.29, is aimed more at anyone wanting a more mineral profile and a better producer score (8.1), with high reliability, but with no award mentioned.
