Luccicante Colline di Levanto Vermentino
Levanto, La Spezia, Liguria, Italy
Lucicani (Cà du Ferrà), Colline di Levanto Vermentino 2024, Liguria, Italy 🇮🇹
Overview
A 100% Vermentino from Colline di Levanto DOP in Liguria, Vendemmia 2024, bottled at 13% ABV. A coastal-driven expression that leans fully into salinity, freshness, and precision. Vintage 2024 shows immediate vibrancy while maintaining admirable balance and composure.
Aromas & Flavors
Bright citrus peel, green apple, and white peach layered with Mediterranean herbs and a distinct marine breeze character. Subtle almond skin and crushed stone nuances emerge with air, reinforcing its coastal identity.
Mouthfeel
Crisp, linear, and saline. Acidity is lively yet controlled, giving lift without sharpness. The texture is clean but not thin, there’s a gentle mid-palate weight that supports the mineral backbone. Finish is persistent, savory, and mouthwatering.
Food Pairings
Grilled branzino, oysters, seafood risotto, shrimp linguine, fritto misto, pesto trofie, or simply enjoyed seaside with olives and focaccia.
Verdict
A textbook Ligurian Vermentino that delivers what the grape promises at its best, tension, salinity, and coastal elegance. Vintage 2024 is showing beautifully now, combining freshness with structure. A great expression that respects terroir over flash.
🍷 Personal Pick
This is the style of Vermentino that keeps pulling me back, saline, precise, and intellectually satisfying. Wines like this remind me why coastal whites deserve serious attention in any structured portfolio.
