"Made from the estate's lower vineyards located 50-100m above sea level, the 2023 Colli di Luni Vignebasse opens with heady aroma of citrus, wild herb and a whiff of tropical fruit. Medium-bodied but light on its feet, the tangy palate offers ripe peach, pineapple and Myer lemon before closing on a saline note. Fresh acidity keeps it bright. Drink through 2025. Abv: 13.5%"

"The 2023 Vermentino Bianco Vignebasse is terrific. Green apple, mint, jasmine, tangerine peel and light tropical accents are all beautifully delineated in a Vermentino that offers notable depth and complexity. There's an exotic quality to the 2023 that is incredibly alluring."
