Technical data
Colli di Luni DOC Vermentino. Alcohol: 13% vol.
Tasting profile
Straw yellow. The nose opens with ripe yellow-fleshed fruit, particularly apricot and peach, complemented by acacia flowers, Mediterranean scrub, saline nuances and balsamic notes. The palate combines vertical, vibrant freshness with marked sapidity, balancing a broad, rounded body and evident alcoholic warmth. The long, persistent finish is almond-like, with ripe-fruit notes returning at the end.
Label / history
First produced in 1992 after an extended period of research and trials in both vineyard and cellar. The project was conceived to express the potential of Vermentino in the local territory, and the wine continues to follow the approach developed through that research.
