Pigato is actually the Ligurian name for Vermentino, so you certainly know what you're getting here. This is the second iteration of this wine, sourced from 10 year old vines in the estate Gullyview vineyard, planted on terra rossa soil. The grapes are picked early, open-top fermented then left on lees in tank for four months before being bottled unfined and unfiltered. It's unique, savoury and characterful, boasting delicate orchard fruit, zingy citrus acidity and a weighty palate. Vibrant and long.
