LIGURIA
With the region’s capital Genoa sitting in the middle, Liguria is in north-western Italy, a narrow strip along the coastline abutting France, with the Alps and the Appennines as backdrop. The region features beautiful rolling hills, ancient woodland and sandy coves as well as those impressive mountains. The combination of the cooling Mediterranean and the protection of the hills make this a temperate region with plenty of rainfall. With Piedmont and Tuscany as neighbours one could be forgiven for expecting the region to produce red wines, however it is aromatic, food loving whites that are the region’s speciality.

TASTING NOTES
A fresh Vermentino from the Ligurian coast in Italy. Elegant and floral this is the perfect summer white. Lifted aromas of peach blossom, ripe citrus and stone fruit waft from the glass.

TASTING NOTES
At the 2014 Italian Tasting, one of the wines was Cantine Lunae's Etichetta Nera (Black Label). Something a little different, it stood out for many of the guests attending. All of the classic zesty lemon, melon and floral aromas that you get from Vermentino are revved up a few notches, so the bouquet explodes out of the glass. This is...

Bottle 75cl £19.13
TASTING NOTES
Intense, persistent, sophisticated aroma of hawthorn, grapefruit, rennet apple, white peach and a pleasing undertone of acacia honey. Fresh and properly balanced on the palate, it rewards us with interesting developments of taste. The wine’s structure makes it particularly suitable for the dishes of traditional Ligurian cuisine, such as “testarolo” pancakes with mushrooms, Ligurian-style stuffed pasta, anchovy and squid pies.

Think fresh figs and...
