We have a story to tell - that of our passion for viticulture. La
Colombiera Winery House was established at the end of the
Seventies further to our grandfather Francesco Ferro’s inspired
intuition. He left Salemi, a small Sicilian village, and moved to Liguria
where he bought a tiny plot of land at La Colombiera, a hamlet near
Castelnuovo Magra overlooking the ancient town of Luni. Here he
planted his first Vermentino grapes and thus, generation after
generation, our Winery House has come to its present situation.
Nowadays it is carefully managed by our dad Piero who pairs each
wine with a story - our family’s story, one consisting of tradition and
passion, the same passion you will taste while sipping from your
glasses.
(Valeria and Benedetta Ferro)
“Our territory enshrines many beauties. It is our duty to respect and tell them to those still ignoring such attractions. Vermentino is unmistakable evidence of how nature yields excellent fruits when it is fairly treated.”
“Each year we harvest the best grapes and select those best enhancing organoleptic characteristics. This results in a great minerality and delicate perfumes accompanied by a pleasant sapidity which is typical of Colli di Luni Vermentino, and which is further intensified by proximity to the sea.”
“If you want to invent a new future, you need to begin from your past. Tradition and innovation coexist in our Vermentino wine and are also visible on our labels: the stele statue is a prehistoric monument, a symbol of our territory – which we reinterpreted in a modern way.”
“The history of our territory blends with that of our family: everything began with Vermentino di Luni. Our family history began three generations ago. We have been jealous guardians of such treasure which we wish to bequeath to the next generations.”
