• San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, Best of Class, Vermentino
The 2023 Vermentino was awarded Best of Class at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, the largest competition of North American Wines.
For each San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition, longtime wine writer Mike Dunne tastes and jots notes on the best-of-class wines. For the competition in 2025, Mike first tasted each of the 150 best-of-class wines and then trimmed this wide field to those most notable entries of the 55 wines that went into the concluding sweepstakes round. Here is what he said about the 2023 Castello di Amorosa Vermentino:
"This is why Vermentino is grabbing the attention of California vintners: At its best, as here, Vermentino can be a white wine of thrust and kick, exceptionally beckoning in its floral aroma and exceptionally compelling on the palate for its suggestions of grapefruit and peach. Order a bottle when seared scallops are on the menu."

"Invitingly crisp aromas of lime sorbet, tangerine peel and chalk make for an engaging nose on this bottling. Ripe peach and honeysuckle flavors come alive on the palate, alongside a refreshing mandarin granita element." - Matt Kettmann, Wine Enthusiast Magazine
