Pigato “Petraie” 2022 Lupi
The Pigato “Petraie” 2022 from Cantina Lupi is among the finest expressions of Pigato, the emblematic white grape of the Riviera Ligure di Ponente DOC. Sourced exclusively from the Petraie vineyards in Salea, where clay-rich soils lend depth and personality, this wine captures the authentic soul of western Liguria.
Fermentation takes place in stainless steel at controlled temperature for about 15 days to preserve aromatic integrity. The wine then rests on the lees for 6–8 months, gaining texture and complexity, followed by at least three months of bottle aging. Over time, it evolves beautifully, reaching its peak after around five years from the harvest.
In the glass, it displays a deep straw-yellow hue. The bouquet opens with notes of ripe peach, white flowers, and subtle minerality. The palate is soft, fresh, and elegant, with excellent balance and a long, savory finish.
A crafted Ligurian white that embodies the mastery of the Lupi family, pioneers of Pigato winemaking, perfect with seafood, shellfish, or light cheeses, or simply enjoyed on its own as a meditative wine.
