'Paduletti' Giacomelli 2025
"Paduletti" is a subtle white wine blended from three grape varieties grown on predominantly clayey soils. A youthful profile for a liquid with aromatic memories that particularly excels in floral and fruity aromas. The savoriness is the main component for a fresh and delicate sip
The “Paduletti” is a wine from the Ligurian winery Giacomelli, produced in the fascinating territory of Colli di Luni with classic white grape varieties grown in the Riviera Ligure di Levante: Vermentino, Trebbiano Toscano, and Malvasia aromatica di Candia. It is a fresh, floral, and fruity white wine that very well expresses the sunny and marine characteristics of its origin and is particularly suitable for pairing with traditional seafood dishes of Ligurian cuisine.
The Giacomelli “Paduletti” is a white wine with a typically territorial face, aiming to express the best of the ancient tradition of the land of Colli di Luni, enhancing the varieties historically present in the region and the peculiar characteristics of this small hilly area overlooking the sea and nestled between Liguria and Tuscany. The estate boasts about a dozen hectares of vineyards in the area of Castelnuovo di Magra, where the grape varieties that have always been present have been carefully preserved, with a precious heritage of old Vermentino vines in the Boboli cru. The wine is produced with grapes grown in the Paduletti locality from a vineyard of about one hectare and half, cultivated with Vermentino, Trebbiano Toscano, and Malvasia aromatica di Candia, on predominantly clayey soils rich in skeleton. In the countryside, herbicides are not used, the inter-rows are all grassed, and only sulfur and copper are used against downy mildew and powdery mildew. The white grape varieties are managed using the Guyot system with a density of 5000 plants per hectare. Fermentation takes place in steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 16 °C. The wine matures in steel for 4 months before bottling.
The “Paduletti” wine is a perfect bottle for those who want to know the truest and most genuine character of the whites from the eastern Liguria. The great attention to vineyard work and the strong connection to the traditions of the territory are indeed the distinctive traits of the Giacomelli winery and its wines. The color is straw yellow with bright greenish reflections. The bouquet aromas express notes of white flowers, fruity aromas, delicate aromatic nuances, and saline sensations. The sip is clear and lively, fragrant and savory, with a harmonious and pleasantly fresh finish.
