Vermentino is an aromatic and full-bodied white grown mostly northern Italy and Sardinia. Lunae Bosoni is an excellent producer in eastern Liguria and has found a particularly good source of Vermentino grapes in the Colli di Luni subregion. Their 2020 Etichetta Nera Vermentino is drawn from older vines that yield grapes of great intensity. It is a luscious sensory experience for those new to this aromatic Italian variety. Its rich aromas of peach, ripe apple and tropical fruits are enhanced by linden flower, herb and citrus peel hints. The flavors are exotic and appealing with the luscious apricot, peach and mango fruits backed by delicate floral, mint and citrus peel tones.
