The "Etichetta Nera" from Lunae is one of the finest examples of Vermentino from the Colli di Luni region in Liguria, located along the border with Tuscany. Lunae has earned a stellar reputation for crafting expressive and elegant Vermentinos, with the "Etichetta Nera" representing the pinnacle of their production. This wine showcases the unique maritime influence and mineral-rich soils of the region, delivering a vibrant, structured, and aromatic white wine. On the nose, the "Etichetta Nera" Vermentino opens with enticing aromas of white peach, citrus blossom, and lemon zest, intertwined with subtle herbal notes of sage and thyme. There are also hints of almond and a distinct saline minerality, reflecting the wine's coastal origins. On the palate, it is medium-bodied with bright, refreshing acidity and a rich, silky texture. Flavors of pear, green apple, and lime are complemented by a long, lingering finish with notes of minerality and a touch of bitter almond.
