Bosco offers structure and gentle tannins, Vermentino layers in citrus and wild herbs, while Albarola and Ruzzese add bright acidity and mineral lift. The result? A wine that is naturally balanced, full of texture, and utterly refreshing.
Farming is done by hand across just 1.5 hectares, with vines ranging from 80 years old to the newly planted bush-trained alberelli. Yields are low—just 5 tonnes per hectare—ensuring intensity and concentration in every bottle. After a gentle skin maceration, fermentation takes place in stainless steel, followed by 6 months of ageing on the lees, adding richness and complexity.
What makes this wine truly special is the “Costa da Posa” vineyard, a dramatic natural amphitheatre carved out before Roman times, its dry-stone walls standing for over 1,000 years. From this incredible site comes a wine with salinity, minerality, and a whisper of the sea breeze.
Expect aromas of lemon zest, Mediterranean herbs, and white peach, with a palate that is textured, precise, and long-lasting. It’s a wine that pairs beautifully with seafood, pasta al limone, or simply enjoyed chilled on a sunny afternoon.
The 2023 vintage is a shining example of why Cinque Terre whites are so sought after. With limited production and a true sense of place, this is a bottle to savour—and to share.
