Bosoni Vermentino Colli Di Luni Black Label

Superb on its own. Thanks to its rich structure, this wine is particularly suitable for the most substantial dishes of Ligurian cuisine such as stockfish, stewed tripe, poultry, soups and fish.

Not Liguria nor Etruria, but among the hills facing the Magra river plain that overlook the sea. The Lunae Bosoni’s Vermentino is rooted in a gentle land and surrounded by remnants of ancient Roman farms while mediaeval and renaissance palaces look upon them from afar. Production per hectare is 7 tons from 35 years old vines. The grapes are hand-picked in crates around the middle of September.

In stainless steel during the refining and stabilizing stages, which may last until March-April; then for a short period in bottle in order to balance the primary organoleptic characteristics with those developed during the fermentation.

Cold maceration on the skins for 48 hours, followed by racking, fermentation and vinification in stainless steels tanks at controlled temperature.

Across many centuries Paolo Bosoni has inherited the know-how and skill brought to Luni (of Etruscan memory) by Roman legionnaires veterans of bloody battles with the Apuan Ligurians and Carthagenians. They were the ones who centuriated the land and planted vines where none had existed and where today Paolo tends around 55 hectares with his large family.
