Description
What type of wine it is
The Colli di Luni Vermentino by Lunae Bosoni is a structured still white wine from the Colli di Luni appellation with a strong Ligurian personality, fermented in steel and aged in large oak barrels. The glass reveals an intriguing olfactory blend of peach, apricot, vanilla and acacia flowers, embellished with hints of Mediterranean scrub. On the palate, it develops with intensity, supported by a lively acidity that balances the drinkability. The tasting leads into a long finish with an almondy trait, enriched by mineral nuances and slight smoky hints, revealing an enveloping wine perfect for pairing with shellfish, seafood dishes and soft cheeses.
Where it comes from
The Vermentino grapes originate in the Colli di Luni territory, between the coast and the hills of Castelnuovo Magra. The bunches are carefully selected from two of the estate's historic vineyards, where the local microclimate ensures a constant and optimal ripening of the fruit. This intimate link with the Ligurian territory translates into a clear aromatic profile and a distinct saline imprint. The soil and climate environment thus provides an authentic expression, capable of accurately conveying the character of the place of origin.
How it is produced
In the cellar, the processes enhance the raw material starting with a scrupulous selection of the bunches. The process involves a cold maceration on the skins for twelve hours, a step aimed at extracting the primary aromatic profile. The subsequent temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks preserves the freshness of the aromas. The wine acquires complexity through prolonged ageing in large oak barrels for eighteen months, completed by a final rest of eighteen months aimed at achieving perfect gustatory harmony.

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!
