Description
What type of wine it is
Labianca by Lunae is a still white wine with the Liguria di Levante Indicazione Geografica Tipica (IGT) designation, the result of a balanced blend of Vermentino and Malvasia, aged in stainless steel. On the palate, it is dry, fresh and delicate, supported by a lively acidity and a distinct savoury and mineral character. The bouquet expresses hints of ripe white fruit and tropical notes, enriched by nuances of sage, peppermint and white pepper. The saline nuances of sea breeze complete the tasting, ensuring aromatic clarity and a pleasant persistence.
Where it comes from
This wine originates from the Liguria di Levante area, specifically in the Luni Plain, in the territory of Ortonovo. The vineyards grow between the Ligurian Sea and the Apuan Alps, where the light, sandy soils enhance the salinity and the easy-drinking nature of the wine. The maritime microclimate plays a fundamental role in preserving the aromatic fragrance of the grapes. The production area is deeply linked to the millenary history of ancient Luni, the City of the Moon, which represents the heart of Lunae's agricultural project.
How it is produced
The harvest is carried out manually at the beginning of September. Vinification involves temperature-controlled fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the cleanliness and precision of the varietal profile. Subsequently, the wine undergoes ageing on the fine lees for four or five months. This prolonged contact gives the palate a soft and enveloping texture, balancing savouriness and freshness, closing with a persistent finish that recalls notes of ripe apricot.

Cantine Lunae deepen their roots in the millenary hystory of this land and people, whose great vine-growing and wine-making tradition have inherited. Etruscans, or perhaps Ligures and then Romans, were the first to grow vineyards in the surroundings of the beautiful Luni, the "Moon City".
These lands have given birth to our vineyards, to our passion, to our wine!
