The Vermentino Colli di Luni “Oro d’Isee”, produced by La Baia del Sole, is a label dedicated to history and ancient family traditions.

A prestigious bottle, reintroduced today for enthusiasts who can share the pleasure of tasting a wine from the memory of the winery.

“Oro d’Isee” is a Vermentino made in the wonderful area of Colli di Luni. La Baia del Sole is a family-run estate, always committed to producing wines with a territorial face and authentic artisanal spirit. The grapes are carefully selected from some vineyards of the estate that are about 25 years old, located in the municipalities of Luni and Castelnuovo Magra, at an altitude between 100 and 200 meters above sea level. The climate Mediterranean, sunny and breezy, the stony soils composed of sands and clays create a perfect habitat for a sea-loving grape variety like Vermentino. The harvest takes place around mid-September, with manual picking and a prefermentative maceration of 24 hours at low temperature. The must, after static decantation, is fermented in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of about 16 °C for a couple of weeks. The wine matures for about 3 months in steel tanks on the fine lees, enriching itself with aromas and gaining greater complexity.
