WINE DESCRIPTION

This area, with its proximity to the sea and distinctive soil composition, creates a microclimate ideal for producing Vermentino with remarkable character.

This Vermentino stands out for its finesse, aromatic intensity, and balance.

NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER

The Costa Marina Colli di Luni Vermentino by Ottaviano Lambruschi greets the eye with a luminous straw-yellow color, hinting at its crisp and refreshing nature.The nose is a delightful bouquet of Mediterranean influences – notes of ripe lemon, green apple, and a hint of white flowers, complemented by a subtle herbal undertone. Upon tasting, the wine reveals its true complexity: a vibrant and well-rounded palate with a core of citrus and stone fruit flavors, accented by a minerally freshness and a hint of sea spray that speaks to its coastal roots. The texture is smooth, with a lively acidity that provides a long, clean finish, making it both invigorating and elegantly harmonious. The Costa Marina is an exemplary representation of Vermentino from Colli di Luni, showcasing the varietal's affinity for the sun-kissed terroir of this unique region.

ORIGINS

Winery: Ottaviano Lambruschi

Region: Liguria

Liguria is a coastal region in the northwest of Italy, situated between the Ligurian Sea and the Apennine Mountains. It is renowned for its stunning landscapes, picturesque villages, and of course, its delicious wines. The history of winemaking in Liguria dates back to the ancient Greeks, who planted vines in the region as early as the 6th century BC. The Romans also cultivated vines in the area, and it is believed that the famous poet Virgil wrote about the wines of Liguria in his epic poem, the Aeneid. Today, Liguria is home to a number of small, family-run wineries that produce a variety of wines. The region is known for its white wines, which are made from the Vermentino and Pigato grapes, as well as its red wines, which are made from the Dolcetto and Rossese grapes.
