Auxo Colli di Luni DOC Lunae Cellars

Paolo Bosoni was born into a family with a long agricultural tradition. When asked today why he became a winemaker, he replies that he was born on September 25 during the grape harvest and grew up on bread, wine, and oil. In 1966, when he inherited the family farm and decided to focus primarily on viticulture, he founded Cantina Lunae. He drew inspiration for the name from the town of Luni, an ancient Etruscan and Greek port dedicated to Selene, the goddess of the moon. The vineyards of Tenuta Lunae stretch from the plain south of the Magra River to the Apuan Alps in the province of La Spezia, on the border between Liguria and Tuscany. The winery specializes in indigenous grape varieties: Vermentino among the white varieties, and Pollera Nera alongside Sangiovese among the red varieties. For the seventh consecutive year, the Vermentino Colli di Luni Etichetta Nera DOC has received Gambero Rosso's highest accolade, the Tre Bicchieri award!
