Winery's Notes
"Etichetta Grigia was the first wine made from the vinification of Vermentino grapes by Paolo Bosoni, now more than forty years ago. The wine is still made the same way today as it was back then. Over time it has become the emblem and the icon of the cellar.
The grapes come from both our own vineyards and from the vineyards of other growers located in the foothills. The simple and respectful vinification, aimed at enhancing the classic characteristics of Vermentino in the Colli di Luni hills produces a freshness and elegance, exemplified by floral and slightly fruity notes in the bouquet, with a sapidity and balance to the taste.
Tasting Notes: Light greenish yellow. Intense bouquet concentrated on citrus notes of lemon peel and lime. Hints of white peach, myrtle leaves and chamomile complete the aroma. Soft and round on the palate, balanced between acidity and a pleasant sapidity. Fruity finish of extraordinary persistence."

91 Points, "Editors' Choice" - Wine Enthusiast
"Fresh and textured, this Vermentino perfectly captures the essence of the Ligurian hills - Mediterranean herbs, wildflowers, and sea spray come together seamlessly. The palate shows both depth and vibrancy, with that characteristic salinity that speaks of its coastal origins. While it's a natural match for regional classics like pesto alla Genovese and fritto misto, this wine would also shine alongside Vietnamese summer rolls with fresh herbs and shrimp, the bright flavors and similar fresh herb notes create an unexpected but harmonious pairing." -JP, 7/1/25
90 Points, "Smart Buys" - Wine Spectator
"Ripe aromas and flavors of apricot and jasmine are offset by savory grass and sage notes in this crisp white. Balanced, ending with a salty, mouthwatering impression. Drink now. 30,000 cases made, 2,400 cases imported." -BS, 3/31/25
