This unusual blend has a welcoming nose of citrus blossom, hazelnut, fennel and vanilla spice. It's dry, crisp and full-bodied with flavors of lemon, vanilla cream and a notion of brown spices.
Lemon, citrus blossom, vanilla, hazelnut, fennel and smoke.
Caminella is located in Bergamo just north of Milan in the foothills of the Alps. Winemaking in the area dates to the 11th century but became especially important in the 16th century under the control of Benedictine monks at the nearby Abbey of San Paulo d'Argon. The owners credit their success to passion, intuition, will and technology. The rest they leave to Mother Nature, with thanks. The name Luna in the Caminella wines translates to moon and refers to the off-white grayish, calcareous soils that locals say is evocative of moon rock.
The Luna Verde is delightfully refreshing for a warm afternoon or evening and a good companion to baked fish, white and grilled meats. Serve with poultry, seafood or pasta dishes flavored with herbs or citrus, such as shrimp scampi, roast chicken with lime, herb-marinated fish or even scallops with a lemon relish. To complement and not overpower the wine, make my Lemon-Baked Sea Bass with Spinach Salad. The Valencia orange, melon and saline attributes in the wine will work wonderfully alongside the fragrant lemon and sweet spinach in this simple yet elegant dish.
Acclaimed Renaissance painter Lorenzo Lotto painted his fresco masterpiece "Christ in the Vineyards" in the nearby Chapel of Trescore Suardi in 1524, a testament to the longstanding importance of wine in the region.
