Caccia al Piano | Lungocosta | Bolgheri Bianco | Organic & Biodynamic Wine

A surprisingly happy combination of 70% Vermentino with 30% Sauvignon Blanc produces a beautifully balanced and complex wine: the Sauvignon gives a bright floral quality to the rich quince and apple notes of the Vermentino, and there is a long clean fresh finish.

A limited edition where Vermentino and Sauvignon Blanc mature for about 12 months in selected woods, enhancing the freshness and aroma typical of Bolgheri white wines. It expresses immediate pleasure without giving up its excellent aging potential. The two grape varieties are hand-picked into small 15 kg crates, at separate times in order to harvest the fruit at its optimal ripeness. Whole clusters of Vermentino are gently pressed, while the Sauvignon Blanc clusters are de-stemmed and the must is cryo-macerated in an oxygen-free environment. They are then individually fermented at a controlled temperature of 15°C. The two wines mature separately for 9 months, Vermentino in small 10 hl casks and Sauvignon Blanc in small oak barrels. Lungocosta is then assembled from these lots and rests a further 3 months before being bottled and released in the spring.
