Castas invulgaresThe Albarola from Cantine Lunae is a fresh white wine with a Mediterranean personality from which emerges an aromatic spectrum characterized by light notes of maritime aromatic herbs and intriguing aromatic scents. The sip is distinguished by aromatic persistence and a marked but elegant savoriness that enriches the tasting perception.
The Albarola of Lunae Bosoni is a white refreshing and crisp wine that comes from the hills of Luni, in the heart of Lunigiana, in the extreme eastern Liguria. An indigenous and little-known grape variety, usually used in blends with other varieties from the region, is here vinified in purity, giving life to a bottle that encapsulates intense scents of the sea and Mediterranean scrub, surprising at the first sip for its freshness and linearity.
The Albarola is obtained from a vineyard located between Castelnuovo Magra and Ortonovo, within the DOC Colli di Luni from vines about 20 years old planted in predominantly clay soils, but with a high percentage of pebbles and stones. It is from these vineyards, located a few kilometers from the sea, that the Albarola grapes are hand-picked, generally in the first half of September and immediately cold macerated for half a day, in order to gently extract and bring out the typical aromas of this variety. Fermentation and vinification take place in stainless steel tanks; followed by a short aging in only steel, before bottling in March/April.
The white wine Albarola Lunae Bosoni has a fragrant and pleasant profile. The cold maceration allows it to maintain a very pale yellow color, but maximizes the aromatic profile of this grape variety. We find intense aromas of citrus and white flowers, but also marine and mineral scents. On the palate, the entry is full and crunchy, dominated by hints of fresh fruit, with a surprising finish that leaves the palate with a pleasant sensation of savoriness. A sip that invites pairing with seafood recipes, typical of Ligurian cuisine. Fried fish, shellfish, and crudités are the ideal dishes to serve alongside this bottle.
