About the producer
Cantina Lunae is a historic winery in the Colli di Luni zone, where the Apennines meet the Ligurian coast. They work with local growers to make wines that capture the character of this dramatic landscape.
About the year
2019 was a warm, dry year across northern Italy. The wines show ripe fruit and good concentration while keeping the freshness the region is known for.
Grape characteristics
Vermentino thrives in coastal climates and gives wines with bright acidity, stone fruit flavours and a saline quality that echoes the sea air where it grows.
About the region
Liguria's narrow strip of vineyards sits between mountains and Mediterranean, with steep slopes that catch the sun and cool sea breezes that preserve acidity. The soil is rocky and mineral-rich.
Tasting profile
Expect white peach, lemon and grapefruit with a subtle saltiness that makes you think of the coast. The wine is dry, crisp and energetic, with a clean finish.
