Vermentino

Vermentino is a Ligurian wine recognised as DOC on 31-03-1988. The vine is of Middle Eastern origin, passed through Spain and transplanted to Corsica in the 14th century, from there it spread to Sardinia and then landed in Tuscany and spread throughout the Ligurian arc. In the temperate climate of the coast it has found the ideal environment for cultivation, as it does not like the cold climate that hinders its development. Without a doubt, we can say that the best results are obtained in the province of Imperia, especially in the Diano area and the Bussana area.

WINEMAKING

The product involves traditional winemaking, with the focus on two fundamental precautions:
- reduce the must - marc contact to a few hours to obtain the aromas
   typical from the skins and a moderately intense colour.
- control the alcoholic fermentation of the must, with the help of a refrigerator, at
   temperature of around 20° C, to increase and maintain the characteristics
   typical of the grape variety. The result is a wine of about 12° alcohol.

It is recommended with raw, grilled, boiled, baked fish and white meat.
