Vermentino
Liguria, Italy
The Ottaviano Lambruschi winery started to take shape in the early 1970s, when in a historic moment of agricultural abandonment in Italy (it was the Industrial Revolution, after all!) Ottaviano Lambruschi decided to leave his stable job in the marble quarries of Carrara to return to the vineyards. He bought his first hectare of vines in Costa Marina with his liquidation money and bottled his first Vermentino in 1982. Ottaviano is now 93 years old and his children have taken the helm, but the original parcel is now indispensable to the production of Vermentino Colli di Luni perched just above the town of Castelnuovo Magro with an impressive view of the sea.
