Punta Crena "Lumassina" Bianco Colline Savonesi 2023

Punta Crena "Lumassina" Bianco Colline Savonesi 2023The Punta Crena estate has been farming grapes in Liguria for over 500 years. Their vineyards, planted between 100 300 meters elevation, have always been farmed naturally and without chemicals, or as Paolo Ruffino says Were not organic, we just do everything the same way our ancestors have for hundreds of years. Another nearly extinct indigenous Ligurian varietal, it is rumored that Lumassina derives its name from "Lumaca," the Italian word for snail

but I also think this wine would match beautifully with mushroom risotto and meatier fishes — seared swordfish or bluefin tuna come to mind

Emilie & Brice Bolognini have operated this domaine since 2003
