This is a zesty and fresh Vermentino with the sunshine and salty seaside aromas of Italy's Ligurian coast locked deep within. The Cantine Lunae Bosoni 2019 Colli di Luni Vermentino Etichetta Nera is luminous and bright with pretty aromas of lemon, bergamot, white peach and fresh kiwi fruit. The wine is lean and zesty, and its various moving parts come together smoothly.

The "black label" 2017 Colli di Luni Vermentino Etichetta Nera offers more sophistication and depth compared to its "gray label" cousin. This wine is chiseled and direct with bright and lively fruit. There is a touch of reduction at first, but this blows off quickly and the bouquet opens very nicely. Some 55,000 bottles were made.
