Vermentino Colli di Luni 'Etichetta Grigia' Lunae Bosoni 2024

Vermentino 'Etichetta Grigia' is a fresh and fruity white wine, aged in steel, whose immediate pleasantness well represents the character of Ligurian Vermentino. The Colli di Luni area is the eastern strip of Liguria on the border with Tuscany, stretching from the Gulf of La Spezia to the Apuan Alps, a small territory with a unique microclimate, where cool winds from the mountains and mild sea breezes alternate, creating a play of temperature excursions that favours the ripening of fragrant and intense grapes. The name of the winery Lunae Bosoni derives from the Latin name of the city of Luni, an ancient Etruscan, Greek and then Roman coastal settlement that has always been an important port of call and crossroads for peoples and goods. It is from this ancient historical origin that the great winemaking tradition of the area originates, rooted in the millenary experience of the peoples that have inhabited this splendid territory between the sea and the mountains.

The grapes used to produce 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. Vermentino has adapted perfectly to the Colli di Luni area, thanks to its predilection for the warm, breezy Mediterranean climate and the exposures close to the coast, which also characterise its presence in Sardinia and Corsica. The vines are cultivated on pebbly, skeleton-rich soils, with guyot training systems at a density of 4000 vines per hectare and have an average age of around 35 years. Manual harvesting is followed by soft pressing and fermentation in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. The wine matures in stainless steel until February, when it is bottled.

Cantina Lunae Bosoni's Etichetta Grigia is themost typical direct and immediate interpretation of Vermentino, encapsulating its fruity fragrance and freshness, which makes it pleasantly smooth and easy drinking. In the glass, it is straw yellow in colour. The bouquet expresses delicate floral aromas, aromas of white fruit and citrus fruits. The sip is slender and savoury, with a juicy fruit centre of the mouth and a beautifully fresh finish. On the table it is a perfect match with seafood menus.
