This Vermentino "Pian del Fico" from La Baia del Sole Winery is produced with 100% Vermentino grapes grown on the company's land in Luni, near La Spezia, on sandy clay and pebble soils. Following the manual harvest which involves a careful selection of the best bunches, the berries are left to dry in perforated boxes for a duration of 2 months; then we move on to the de-stemming, crushing and separation of the skins. The vinification ends with natural decantation, temperature-controlled fermentation in barrels and final refinement in the bottle.
Characteristics of this Ligurian Vermentino
