"La Bianca" Liguria di Levante Bianco IGT 2023

Labianca, Liguria di Levante IGT, is the wine proposed here by the Lunae Bosoni winery, one of the most interesting wine producers in Liguria. Specialising in Vermentino grapes, in this case Lunae does not vinify them in purity but associates them with Malvasia. The grapes come from vineyards cultivated in the light, sandy soils of the Luni plain, squeezed between the Ligurian Sea and the Apuan Alps. This land, with its special microclimate, yields a Vermentino that is fresh, delicate and rich in savoury notes. The small addition of Malvasia gives the finished wine a pleasant softness. The result is a delicate and persuasive wine, fresh thanks to its summery aromas. Super thorough vinification in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, after processing the wine is matured on its fine lees, again in stainless steel tanks, for about 4 months. Greenish yellow, on the nose decisive tropical notes of maracuja and mango emerge, blending with those of peppermint and white pepper, sage, Mediterranean scrub and a salty undertone. In the mouth, it is soft and enveloping. Well balanced by freshness and savouriness, it enjoys a fruity finish and good persistence.
