@zpneal @jennawneal Liguria overall is a big producer of white #wine. Defo recommended is #Vermentino, #Bianchetta or #Albarola (changes name according to area of production). For the reds #VermentinoNero and #Ciliegiolo. My favourite producer is #CantineLunae but I have heard good things of #CantineFederici. /2
I loved this #Albarola #wine, a little known obscure grape from #Liguria. It's quite unique. Strong minerality, high acidity, a very mild hint of sweetness and a refreshing lemon finish. I think it's a hidden jem. It's an alternative name for #Bianchetta Genovese, depending on the area of production. #winelover #winetasting #winegeek
@dlupham @AlexGBardsley I'm from east coast of #Liguria, on our side of the region you'll find #Vermentino #Albarola for the #whitewine and #Ciliegiolo or #VermentinoNero for #redwines. From west coast there's also #Pigato (w) and #Rossese (r). I particularly liked #CantineLunae from #Luni, their Vermentino w and r are fenomenal #wine #winelover #winegeek #winetasting #italianwine
