2022 Lunae "Etichetta Nera" Vermentino Colli di Luni Liguria

Lunae Bosoni is one of the benchmark producers of Vermentino in Liguria, and their "Etichetta Nera" is widely regarded as one of the top expressions of the grape in Italy. Sourced from the Colli di Luni, where the sea breezes and mineral-rich soils create an ideal environment for Vermentino, this wine combines richness, elegance, and an unmistakable sense of place. The Etichetta Nera opens with a captivating bouquet of white flowers, ripe peach, and green apple, complemented by notes of lemon zest, sage, and a hint of sea salt. On the palate, it’s vibrant and crisp, with a refreshing minerality that carries flavors of citrus, pear, and almond. The wine’s lively acidity is balanced by a textured, almost creamy mouthfeel, making it both refreshing and complex. The long, saline-tinged finish reminds you of its coastal origins. This Vermentino has become a standard-bearer for the variety, offering exceptional depth and versatility, perfect for those who appreciate a finely tuned white wine with character and balance.
