GIACOMELLI COLLI DI LUNI VERMENTINO PIANACCE 2024

Roberto Petacchi has managed his grandfather Pietro Giacomelli's estate since 1993, cultivating Vermentino in Castelnuovo Magra's southern Liguria hills where the Colli di Luni appellation meets the Tyrrhenian Sea—mineral-rich soils warmed by Mediterranean breezes create ideal conditions for this ancient white grape variety. The Pianacce bottling showcases pure Vermentino from select vineyards, pours intense straw yellow, and opens with aromas of crisp Rennet apple and herbs like thyme and rosemary. The palate delivers distinctive earthiness—that coastal salinity and mineral tension—characteristic of Ligurian whites grown near the sea, offering refreshing acidity and citrus-driven flavors that pair beautifully with the region's seafood cuisine.
