Il Prefetto

Colli di Luni Vermentino - Superiore
Controlled Denomination of Origin

The “Vigna del Prefetto” wine is obtained from 100% Vermentino grapes from Masignano (Arcola), one of the most famous areas for viticolture in our region, after pressing its golden and perfect grapes. Fermentation is carried out approximately six months, after which the cuvèe obtained is ready for bottling and put on the market, in late Summer. As far as we are concerned, this wine represents the best marriage between tradition and innovation, with absolutely no loss of quality. Light straw-yellow. Intensely aromatic and characteristic with a slight touch of almond and vanilla. Great with all grilled fish, shell fish and white meat.

Vinification

The grapes of this single-vineyard come from one of the most suitable areas of DOC Colli di Luni, the hilly area of Masignano - Arcola, known for its sunny slopes overlooking the Gulf and the general conditions of healthiness and ease of ripening. The grapes of this single-vineyard come from one of the most suitable areas of DOC Colli di Luni, the hilly area of Masignano - Arcola, known for its sunny slopes overlooking the Gulf and the general conditions of healthiness and ease of ripening. Grapes are crushed and destemmed and cooled with dry ice, then subjected to a short pre-fermentative maceration of 6-8 hours at 8°C. After pressing, the must is left to decant for at least 48 hours, then it is cleaned from the lees and started to ferment, which usually takes place at a controlled temperature of 15° C (59° F) and it is usually slow and exceptionally long.

Refinement

After alcoholic fermentation, the wine undergoes an important 4–5-month period of elevage in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees at a controlled temperature of 10°C, taking care to avoid malolactic fermentation. This is followed by a period of natural decanting and a couple of racking, which clean and prepare the wine for bottling, which usually takes place in April of the following year.

Tasting notes

Color: Intense golden yellow with luminous reflections
Bouquet: richly fruity with a wide variety of ripe fruit, especially citrus and white fruit, but also hints of tropical and exotic fruits, all in combination with balsamic and aromatic notes of sage and rosemary, inevitable in a Vermentino of this degree of maturity grown on territories with excellent exposure to the sea like ours.
Taste: the usual freshness and excellent acidity give this wine pleasantness, immediacy, and drinkability, besides the body and volume so important, which accentuate sapidity and persistence and give it a great perspective over time.

Recommendation

Ideal wine for grilled seafood and first courses of the Levantine Ligurian tradition. Excellent for meditation. Optimal serving temperature 10 °C.
