Winemaker Notes: 

"Vermentino grows throughout Liguria, but the best is in the “zona dell’ albenganese”, or the region around and above the coastal town of Albenga. Jancis Robinson’s Wine Grapes book says, “Morphological and DNA comparisons have clearly established that… Pigato and Vermentino are one and the same variety”, but Ligurian growers disagree. The grapes certainly don’t look the same in the vineyard, and the resulting wines taste different, even when vinified the same.  In our experience, this is a Vermentino that benefits from extra time in bottle. It’s often pretty wound up when it’s released and gets more expressive with bottle age. In good vintages, it also continues to age in compelling ways for at least several years. We’ve drunk five year old bottles that were spectacular." 

Alcohol: 13%
