WINE STORIES

Wine Stories:
Four Wineries, One Liguria of Light

Liguria Told Through a Glass

Between Alassio and its hills, wine is not just production: it is landscape, wind, stone, light. Four wineries: Anfossi, Maria Donata Bianchi, Laura Aschero, Ca’ Lunae, preserve this identity with different gestures, yet with the same devotion to the land.

Anfossi – Bastia di Albenga (Savona)

Anfossi is a family story, made of narrow hillsides and rows of vines facing the inland valleys. The Vermentino is clean, direct, bright; the Pigato carries that saline note that tells the story of the Ponente without needing words.
The winery is essential, sincere, without frills. Here, wine is a daily gesture: pruning, harvesting, waiting. “Every vintage has its own character,” they say. “And we try not to ruin it.”
A wine that tastes of light and earth.

Maria Donata Bianchi – Ranzo (Imperia)

Ranzo is a more internal Liguria, quieter, more stone, more silence. Maria Donata Bianchi works Pigato with rare sensitivity: elegance, finesse, balance. Her wines have a feminine voice, subtle and precise: they tell the hillside without raising it.
The winery is a place of calm: small barrels, natural light, measured gestures. A Pigato that feels handwritten.

Laura Aschero – Pontedassio

Laura Aschero is tradition, care, finesse. The Pigato is soft, rounded, with that herbal note that always arrives, punctual. The Vermentino is bright, clean, elegant.
This winery smells of wood, of neatly arranged bottles, of seasons passing without hurry. A wine that tells Liguria with discretion and precision.

Ca’ Lunae – Castelnuovo Magra (La Spezia)

Ca’ Lunae is the Liguria where wine, culture, and territory meet. The winery is a place of light, stone, and memory: museum, herbs, distillates, vineyards breathing the sea.
Here, wine is the result of cooperation between nature and people — seeking harmony in nature through human hands. This work becomes a fundamental part of the wine’s character.
The Vermentino is taut, mineral, precise; the Etichetta Nera is a regional classic. “Wine must tell the landscape,” they say.
And their wines do exactly that: a thin line between earth and horizon.

The Territory Inside the Glass

In these wineries, wine is not a product: it is a landscape. It is the wind from the sea, the stone warming under the sun, the hillside that offers no shortcuts. It is work done with hands, with light, with patience.
Four places, four gestures, one identity: Liguria scented with grapes and salt.

A glass tells more than a harvest: it tells who the artisans of our land are. A story that lives in the rows of vines, in the stone walls, in the light of the Ponente.
Is Liguria that reveals itself at the very first sip.
