From the steep, terraced vineyards of Varigotti on the Ligurian coast, Punta Crena’s Mataòssu is a rare gem. The Ruffino family has farmed these windswept vines on the Italian riveria since 1930, crafting a wine that tastes like top-class Chablis, but captures the pure essence of the Mediterranean.
The century-old vines lend to spicy aromatics layered with wild herbs, flowers, and marine breeze. Underneath lies hints of crispy lemon, ripe pear and honeydew melon. In the glass, it’s lean, bracing, and tangy—just what you want when digging into a plate of fried calamari.
