The 2011 Vermentino Colli di Luni Corsano is a little tighter and more mineral-driven in style than the straight Vermentino. Ash, smoke and a host of mineral notes give the wine much of its energy and thrust. This is a very pretty white from Terenzuola. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014.

The single-vineyard 2009 Vermentino Colli di Luni Fosso di Corsano, from the estate’s highest vineyards, emerges from the glass with wonderful nuance and complexity. There is a hint of petrol that recalls Riesling. The bright fruit carries through beautifully to the pointed, well-articulated finish. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2014.
