Description
Lvnae Bosoni - Vermentino Colli di Luni "Gray Label" DOC
The Vermentino ‘Grey Label’ (a.k.a. Etichetta Grigia) is all about freshness and it is considered by many the best expression of true Ligurian Vermentino.
Where this grape variety has found its perfect habitat. Vermentino expresses a crisp and lean body with a delicate perfume of citrus, floral and herbal. Beautiful saline aftertaste that recalls the area of Cinque Terre.
A straw-yellow colour with youthful greenish highlight. Easy to drink. Intense, persistent and elegant with hints of hawthorn, grapefruit, rennet apple, white peach, undertones of acacia honey. Fresh and properly balanced on the palate, it rewards us with interesting developments of taste
Harvest by hand, fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperature, 1 month on lees until bottling.
If you always dreamt to visit the Cinque Terre, this wine’s acidity and mineral components will make you feel as if the coastal breeze was gently touching your face and you can almost smell the scents of the sea. The aromas of this wine represent the great expression of herbs available in this beautiful region, such as basil. Perfect wine with vegetarian dishes!
We must add that the morphology of this region makes viticulturists harder, so when you drink Liguria wines you are supporting hardworking producers to keep making unique products like this one.

“Pungent aromas of sage, pine and juniper mingle with peach and grapefruit notes in this intense white. Mouthwatering, showing fine balance and a lingering aftertaste of wild herbs and grapefruit peel. Drink now through 2024.”
“This has a neat lemon and honeydew nose with a succulent, smooth, juicy edge that carries a fresh, minerally lemon finish.”
- 91 PTS“Lunae Bosoni, the largest winery in Liguria, shows that big can be beautiful. They make an exquisite- ly consistent line-up of Vermentino. Scents of wild herbs and spice leap from the glass of this one, their so-called entry level wine. Its clean and cutting na- ture enlivens the palate.A subtle touch of white pep- per-like spice in the finish enhances its appeal. It’s a fantastic choice for summertime seafood, such as linguine bathed in a clam sauce.”
