Product Notes

Cantine Lunae's Vermentino Colli di Luni Etichetta Nera is a quintessential Italian white wine, hailing from the Liguria region. Its luminous straw yellow colour and persistent aroma of worn leather, green apple, and spicy notes provide a sophisticated allure. On the palate, this medium-bodied wine presents balanced acidity with delightful minerality, resulting in fresh and fruity flavours. Its delicate notes of white flowers, grapefruit, and almond are utterly captivating. The pleasantly bitter finish is reminiscent of a crisp lemon zest. Overall, Etichetta Nera is a true representation of its terroir, making it a wine connoisseur's delight.

Tasting Notes

Straw yellow colour. The nose opens with hints of ripe fruit with yellow flesh, in particular apricot and peach. The fruit is embellished with notes of acacia flowers and Mediterranean scrub and accompanied by briny and balsamic notes. In the mouth the vertical and vibrant freshness and sapidity balance the large and rounded body, with good alcohol content. The long and persistent finish has notes of almond and recalls the pleasant notes of ripe fruit.
