Colli Di Luni Vermentino DOC Pianacce - Giacomelli Farm

Vermentino, a semi-aromatic white grape variety, on the hills of Castelnuovo Magra manages to best express all its elegance, enclosed in this wine. The hand-picked grapes and the maturation with a rest on the yeasts for 4 months make it an excellent product. Intense straw yellow with marked golden reflections. Very broad nose, with notes of mint and citrus tones. Warm and severe palate. Tantalizing acidic flashes; pleasant closure on a salty grain.

Giacomelli Agricultural Company

The company was founded in 1993 by Roberto Petacchi. The company extends over approximately 12 hectares and on 2 levels: on the plain for the production of Liguria di Levante IGT Rosso and Bianco wines, on the hill where the Colli di Luni Doc Vermentino and Rosso wines are produced. The company is based in Castelnuovo Magra, between the Apuan Alps and the Tyrrhenian Sea. This position has a special microclimate due to the cold winds of the mountains and the influence of the sea. Furthermore, the composition of the soil varies greatly. This makes the wines particularly mineral, savoury and with notes of hydrocarbons also because, when it is windy, the salinity of the sea is transported towards the hinterland. The company also aims to enhance the local agricultural heritage, through the diversification of crops and through the recovery of the Boboli vineyard (over 100 years old) and the Giardino dei Vescovi (400 years of history). The selection of wines to be produced is oriented towards vines that give life to original wine products, with a precise common thread of taste, which combines finesse and elegance. The vines of Malvasia Di Candia and Vermentino, give wines renowned for their uniqueness and exquisiteness. The heart is also linked to the red berry, present in smaller quantities than the white but of equal quality, expressed with the Tuscan Sangiovese, Merlot and Canaiolo.
