Discover the grape variety: Fel
Simple, fresh dry gris whites with a pale rose-copper robe, a supple palate with moderate acidity, and undemonstrative aromas of citrus and white flowers. A discreet rustic profile. Preserved in a few ampelographic collections, Fel is an ancient heritage variety whose commercial cultivation has almost vanished; it is studied for its genetic interest. A rare, poorly documented gris grape grown in negligible quantities.

Western Ligurian DOC on terraces between sea and mountain. Exclusive native signature Pigato in white: aromatic and structured with signature notes of white flowers, peach, citrus, Mediterranean herbs, basil and a lightly saline almond touch, round palate with marked acidity — Vermentino's golden cousin, perfect with pesto and anchovies. Tauter, more mineral Vermentino. Light, floral Rossese in red.
The wine region of Liguria
Coastal region of northwest Italy on the Riviera, terraced vineyards among the steepest in Europe (~1,650 ha). Vermentino signature in white: fresh and saline with signature notes of citrus, white flowers, wild herbs, fresh almond and an iodine mineral touch, taut long mouth. Local Pigato similar and ample, mineral Bosco (min. 40% in Cinque Terre), Albarola.
The word of the wine: Overmaturation
When the grapes reach maturity, the skin becomes permeable and progressively loses water, which causes a concentration phenomenon inside the berry. This is called over-ripening or passerillage.
