This lightly sparkling wine is particularly distinctive as Lugano insists on producing our cuvee in a bone-dry style. The Prosecco is bottled early to maintain its freshness and is released in the early months of the year following the harvest.
Vermentino Vignaerta, Golfo del Tigullio: a more elegant expression of Vermentino, leaner than the Intrigoso” but with great complexity, showing bright acidity, brilliant length and strong minerality leavened by notes of citrus, almond, and licorice; the grapes for this cuvée are sourced from the slopes of the Campegli vineyard located in the village of Castiglione Chiavarese; approximately 100 cases per year are exported for our use in the USA.
Bisson ages the grapes for its Marea Cinque Terre for an extended time on the lees, imbuing it with the qualities of a “skin-contact” or “orange wine.” No light-bodied quaffer, this ode to Cinque Terre is a full-bodied, earthy wine of immense character, with a deep golden tint. The wine’s heady brew of tropical fruits, cinnamon and nutmeg, herbs, almonds and its signature piquant brininess makes this Cinque Terre unique, unforgettable, and deeply evocative of its Mediterranean terroir.
