The Vermentino of the Lunae winery is one of the best creatures of Paolo Bosoni, founder and soul of this appreciated reality enclosed between the blue mirror of the Ligurian Sea and the green panorama of Lunigiana. Lunae’s philosophy is as simple as it is decisive: to exploit all the knowledge of its territory to transform a deep and rooted link over time into a wine that knows how to weave tradition and recent developments in the wine industry.
Labianca was born from the union of two traditional vines: Vermentino and Malvasia. The grapes come from vineyards cultivated in the light and sandy lands of the plain of Luni, nestled between the Ligurian Sea and the Apuan Alps.
White as the marble mountains that outline the landscape of the ancient and white city of Luni. White as the soul of this wine, delicate and persuasive, fresh with summer aromas.
This particular Vermentino is combined with a small percentage of Malvasia which, in the mouth, gives a rounded softness with nuances of flowers, ripe fruit, and sea breezes.

Not only that, it is a Vermentino capable of surprising even after many years from the harvest, if well preserved in the cellar.

The Vermentino Gray Label is a fresh and fruity white, aged in steel, which with its immediate pleasantness well represents the character of Vermentino Ligure, adapted perfectly to the Colli di Luni area, thanks to its preference for the Mediterranean climate, warm, ventilated and for the exposures close to the coast. The Gray Label of Cantina Lunae Bosoni is the most typical direct and immediate interpretation of Vermentino, lean and sapid, with a mouth center with a juicy fruit and a finish of beautiful freshness.
