Though the sea is invisible as you pull into the humble quarters of the Ottaviano Lambruschi domaine, its presence lingers in the air. In Liguria, it’s hard to steer far from the water. In fact, waving goodbye to 93-year-old Ottaviano and climbing into his son, Fabio’s jeep, following the twists and turns up to the Costa Marina vineyard, two things became clear: the view of the sea, and the fact that Fabio Lambruschi has been driving that road for a lifetime. The parcels that emerge in the clearing of this dramatic Ligurian hillside perfectly frame the sea beyond, and the gentle breeze is steady and salty. There is a mystical feeling as birds swoop overhead. This is a special vineyard site.

One of the estate’s most representative wines, the grapes are from the highest part of the Il Maggiore vineyard where there is a spectacular view over the whole Apuana coastline. The wine boasts a vibrant straw yellow color thanks to the vicinity of the Carrara marble caves, which also add length and minerality to the wine. 100% Vermentino aged in stainless steel.
