| Product name | Colli di Luni Albarola 2024 |
| Color | Pale yellow with green reflections. |
| Perfume | Layered aromatic profile: opens on green and tropical notes of pineapple and lime peel, followed by balsamic hints and white flowers. |
| Taste | On the palate, the acidity is well supported by a roundness due to the stay on the lees. The finish is of medium length and persistence, with sensations of lime zest enhancing the aftertaste. |
| Production method | This wine comes from the vinification of the native albarola grape variety. A grape variety historically used in blends, as it contributed to the wine's harmony, giving it freshness and pleasantness. It was rarely vinified as a single variety due to its particular characteristics. The albarola has a very compact bunch and must be grown in cool environments, on hills with good exposure and ventilation, which lower its humidity. After years of research in the vineyard and in the cellar, aimed at identifying the most suitable soils and vinification methods, our pure Albarola was born, with the intention of demonstrating the great qualitative potential of this grape variety. |
| Pairings | This wine is particularly suitable for seafood dishes. Excellent with fried fish and crudités. |

Cantine Lunae deepen their roots in the millenary hystory of this land and people, whose great vine-growing and wine-making tradition have inherited. Etruscans, or perhaps Ligures and then Romans, were the first to grow vineyards in the surroundings of the beautiful Luni, the "Moon City".
These lands have given birth to our vineyards, to our passion, to our wine!
