Bruna 2024 Riviera Ligure di Ponente Maje Pigato

Majé is a local name for vineyards terraced with stone. The vines are at about 250 metres, and enjoy a steady breeze from the sea. Francesca Bruna describes the soils as "blue clay, rich in small and large fossils." The 2024 is quite fragrant, magnolia flowers and sweet herbs like mint and basil. The wine finishes with lovely focused saline minerality and some texture from 5 months of lees aging. Drink with pesto, baked branzino, tomato salad, and anything with lots of herbs, capers or olives!
