2025 Barberani 'Le Lucciole' Vermentino

Aromas of citrus blossom, white peach, green apple, and crushed thyme lead into a light-to-medium-bodied, crisp palate. Flavors of lemon peel, pear, and dried herbs join bright acidity and a distinct salty minerality through a clean, savory finish.

Hand-harvested, organically farmed grapes undergo a short cold maceration prior to pressing. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperatures in stainless steel tanks using indigenous yeasts. The wine rests on fine lees in stainless steel for several months to build subtle textural weight before bottling.

Grapes come from estate vineyards overlooking Lake Corbara in Umbria. Rooted in marine sedimentary soils rich in clay and fossilized shells, the vines benefit from significant lake-driven air currents that moderate temperatures and preserve high natural acidity.
