Current condition

Fresh, aromatic, lively, and true to Vermentino style

Vermentino from Colli di Luni, especially in the 'Grey Label' style, excels in youth. The wine's energy and aromatic profile are at their brightest in the first years; extended cellaring may diminish freshness without significant improvement.

Food pairing

Ideal with Ligurian seafood (branzino, baccalà, octopus), pesto pasta, raw shellfish, and Mediterranean salads.

Sustainability

Sustainability score: 7/10

Cantine Lunae employs integrated pest management, native cover crops, and low-intervention viticulture. They focus on energy savings, gravity-fed winemaking, and lightweight glass for bottles. Water conservation and vineyard biodiversity are prioritized; no herbicides, limited synthetic treatments.

Cantine Lunae Bosoni takes sustainability seriously, aligning with modern eco-friendly viticulture but without formal organic/biodynamic certification. Vineyard management is focused on minimizing intervention and chemical use. Packaging is thoughtful, and energy use is optimized, but standard glass is used rather than alternatives. The moderate footprint is due to local distribution patterns and ongoing environmental investments, meriting a strong—but not top—score.
