Vermentino Colli di Luni 'Etichetta Grigia' Lunae Bosoni 2024 - 37.5cl

The Vermentino "Etichetta Grigia" is a fresh and fruity white wine, aged in steel, which with its immediate pleasantness well represents the character of Ligurian Vermentino. The area of Colli di Luni is the eastern tip of Liguria bordering Tuscany, extending from the Gulf of La Spezia to the Apuan Alps, a small territory with a unique microclimate, where the fresh winds from the mountains alternate with the mild breezes from the sea, creating a play of temperature excursions that favor the maturation of fragrant and intense grapes. The name of the winery Lunae Bosoni comes from the Latin name of the city of Luni, an ancient coastal settlement of Etruscan, Greek, and later Roman origin, always an important stop and crossroads of peoples and goods. From this ancient historical origin arises the great winemaking tradition of the territory, which has its roots in the millennial experience of the peoples who have inhabited this splendid territory between the sea and the mountains.

The grapes used to produce the Vermentino "Etichetta Grigia" come from vineyards cultivated in small plots, all located in the most vocated areas of the territory between the municipalities of Ortonovo and Castelnuovo Magra. The Vermentino has adapted perfectly to the area of Colli di Luni, thanks to its preference for the warm, ventilated Mediterranean climate and for the exposures close to the coast, which also characterize its presence in Sardinia and Corsica. The vines are cultivated on stony soils rich in skeleton, with guyot systems at a density of 4000 plants per hectare and have an average age of about 35 years. After manual harvesting, soft pressing follows, and fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperature. The wine matures in steel until February, when bottling takes place.

The Etichetta Grigia of the Cantina Lunae Bosoni is the most typical direct and immediate interpretation of Vermentino, encapsulating its fruity fragrance and freshness, making it pleasantly smooth and easy to drink. In the glass, it presents a straw-yellow color. The bouquet expresses delicate floral aromas, white fruit, and citrus notes. The sip is slender and savory, with a juicy fruit center and a finish of beautiful freshness. At the table, it finds perfect pairings with seafood menus.
