Diego Bosoni
A descendant of the Bosoni family, owners of the historic Ligurian winery Lunae Bosoni, Diego has embarked on a parallel adventure in the Colli di Luni in the name of craftsmanship, recovering ancestral winemaking techniques and traditions and combining them with modern attention. He decided to follow in his family's footsteps as a boy, completing his studies in agriculture to assist his father Paolo in the management of the estate. Parallel to his valuable work at Lunae Bosoni, Diego then took up the challenge of defining his own personal vision of Ligurian wine, driven by a desire to experiment by breaking out of established patterns.
For his own project, Diego Bosoni works with grape varieties from the Colli di Luni area, including Vermentino, Albarola and Malvasia. These come in particular from the area between the Apuan Alps and the municipality of Castelnuovo Magra, planted on steep hilly soils rich in skeleton. The peculiar geographical position is then at the basis of the area's microclimate, influenced both by sea breezes from the Ligurian Sea and by the proximity to the mountains. The grapes are harvested strictly by hand, while the oenological approach adopted by Diego is based on a drastic reduction of intervention, with fermentation entrusted to indigenous yeasts, sometimes with prolonged maceration even for the white grapes, and the exclusion of any invasive manipulation. The wine containers used include stainless steel tanks and terracotta amphorae, each type weighted according to the oenological objective. Diego also delights in producing bottle-fermented wines following the Ancestral Method, with frothing taking place without the addition of exogenous sugars.
Diego Bosoni's intention is to transmit the truest oenological face of the Colli di Luni into the glass, without any filter or alteration, creating a small limited series production. In particular, the project started with two labels: the Bianco Frizzante 'L'Incantatrice', a bottle-fermented white wine with a fragrant and vertical style, and the orange wine 'PadreFiglio', a macerated white able to combine momentum and structure.
