Just 2 miles from the Ligurian coast is a family who have been called 'heroic' winemakers that tend a handful of parcels that range up coastal the mountain slope from near seal level to 2100 feet. This sort of inspired madness is worthy or our attention. From 100% Pigato (local dialect meaning freckles), this speckled white grape creates aromatic and textured wines. It begins with intense aromas of toasted orange, lemon brine, yellow flowers, and poached orchard fruit. The complex palate has a fleshy richness that eventually transforms into a taught finish with elements of dry extract and herbaceous notes all tied together neatly by a brackish saltiness.
