Claudio Vio 2023 Vermentino White Wine – Ligurian Riviera DOC

Discover the captivating essence of Liguria with Claudio Vio’s exceptional 2023 Vermentino. Sourced from the prized vineyards surrounding Albenga – a coastal region renowned for producing Liguria’s finest expressions of this varietal – this Italian white wine bursts with freshness and distinctive character.

While debate exists among local growers regarding Vermentino and Pigato (often considered identical elsewhere), this Albenga Vermentino showcases unique qualities right from the vineyard to your glass. Expect vibrant notes of zesty citrus, crisp green apple, and a subtle saline minerality reflecting its coastal origins, perfectly balanced at 13% alcohol.

What truly sets this Ligurian white apart is its remarkable aging potential. Unlike many young Vermentinos meant for immediate consumption, Claudio Vio’s creation benefits significantly from bottle age. Initially tightly wound upon release, it gradually unfolds greater complexity, depth, and expressiveness over time. Enjoy its lively youth paired perfectly with fresh seafood or grilled vegetables, or cellar select bottles from good vintages like 2023; experience how it transforms into a spectacularly layered wine over several years – proven delights await even at five years old.

Experience a uniquely age-worthy Italian white wine that captures the authentic spirit and exceptional terroir of coastal Liguria.
