Liguria

Pigato from the Riviera di Ponente d.o.c.
The Riviera Ligure di Ponente Pigato Terre Ferme di Lunae originates from vineyards located in Castelnuovo Magra and Ortonovo, in the extraordinary terroir of the Colli di Luni, south of the Magra river, at the border between Liguria and Tuscany.
Color
Straw yellow, with green reflections.
Aroma
On the nose, it opens with a broad and floral bouquet, with aromas of fruit tree flowers, enriched by pleasant hints of yellow-fleshed fruit.
Taste
On the palate, it is pleasantly fresh, savory, with a balanced and persistent finish.

The first vintage produced dates back to 1992, after a long period of research and experiences in the field and in the winery. The initial intention was to produce a wine that could testify to the great potential that this grape variety can express in our territory. Etichetta Nera is still born today as a result of that research.


Denomination: Colli di Luni d.o.c. Vermentino
Grapes: Vermentino 
Alcohol content: 13 % vol.
Territory: Hills of Luni and Castelnuovo Magra
Vinification: Cold maceration on the skins for about 8 hours, fermentation at controlled temperature in steel, aging on fine lees in steel for about 4 months
Production method
The parcels that express the best organoleptic potential each year are selected. The grapes, hand-picked during the early hours of the morning, are then quickly transported to the winery for a brief cold maceration and subsequent vinification. The result is a wine rich in complexity: the traditional characteristics of vermentino are enriched and enhanced both on the nose and in the mouth.

Tasting
Pale yellow color. The nose opens with hints of ripe yellow-fleshed fruit, particularly apricot and peach. This is enriched by notes of acacia flowers and Mediterranean scrub, accompanied by briny and balsamic notes. On the palate, the freshness is vertical and vibrant, the sapidity balances a broad and round body, with good alcohol content. The almondy finish is long and persistent with a return of pleasant notes of ripe fruit.

Etichetta grigia is the first wine made from the vinification of vermentino grapes by Paolo Bosoni, over forty years ago, and today it follows the same path as it did then. Over time, it has become the emblem and icon of the winery.


Denomination: Colli di Luni d.o.c. Vermentino
Grapes: Vermentino 
Alcohol content: 12.5 % vol.
Territory: Hilly areas of Luni, Castelnuovo Magra, Sarzana
Vinification: Fermentation at controlled temperature in steel, aging on fine lees in steel for about 3 months
Production method
The grapes come from both owned vineyards and those of suppliers located in the hilly areas. The vinification is simple and respectful, aimed at enhancing the classic characteristics of vermentino in the Colli di Luni: freshness and elegance, expressed through floral and slightly fruity notes in the aroma, savoriness and balance on the palate.

Tasting
Light yellow-green. Intense bouquet articulated on citrus notes of lemon and lime zest. Hints of white peach, myrtle leaves, and chamomile complete the aroma. On the palate, it is soft and round, balanced between acidity and a pleasant savoriness. Fruity finish of extraordinary persistence.
