Vermentino, as we know, is a grape variety that loves to grow near the sea. From Sardinia to the Maremma, its golden clusters grow well if the air is salty. With in Liguria, of course, where on the Riviera di Ponente it reaches levels of absolute excellence. Durin harvests its grapes in the Lunghera vineyards, hence the name of the wine, which are located just outside the village of Ortovero in a sunny and climatically privileged position. The result is a pleasantly dry wine, characterised by a beautiful straw-yellow colour with nuanced greenish reflections. The nose is elegant, with notes of fresh fruit, such as apricot, apple and white peach. Then sage, broom and Mediterranean scents. In the mouth it is very savoury and fresh. A wine with great structure and persistence, with hints that recall those previously perceived on the nose.
Durin is a small family-run farm with a long history. It is located in Ortovero, in the province of Savona and was founded in 1978 by Antonio Basso, the third generation of winegrowers in his family. The company's first vineyards date back to the 1920s and today extend over 17 hectares, mostly terraced, in the Arroscia Valley. The main native varieties of western Liguria are grown here, thanks to a very special microclimate, influenced by the hills and the sea just 7 kilometres away. In the cellar, tradition and innovation happily coexist. So alongside the traditional Ligurian wines there are some very special and interesting ones.
