The 2009 Bianco Marea is a rare and mature expression of Cinque Terre’s traditional white blend, composed primarily of Bosco with Albarola and Vermentino. With over a decade of age, this wine has shed its youthful freshness in favor of depth and complexity: notes of salted lemon, dried apricot, chamomile, and sea herbs emerge, carried by a lingering mineral backbone. Despite its evolution, the wine retains vibrant acidity and salinity—hallmarks of the Ligurian coast. The texture is waxy and nuanced, hinting at honeyed fruit and maritime breeze. An exceptional bottle for those seeking an aged white with soul, this is a testament to the longevity and uniqueness of Ligurian terroir. Serve with seafood, aged cheeses, or sip contemplatively on its own.

Bisson is a small, artisanal Ligurian estate founded by winemaker Pierluigi Lugano, a passionate advocate for preserving the region’s ancient maritime viticulture. Nestled along the steep, terraced cliffs of the Cinque Terre and eastern Ligurian Riviera, Bisson specializes in native varieties like Bosco, Albarola, and Vermentino—grapes historically cultivated on the narrow, dry-stone-walled vineyards that overlook the Mediterranean. Lugano’s commitment to authenticity includes manual vineyard work, organic practices, and traditional winemaking aimed at expressing Liguria’s saline, sun-drenched terroir. Bisson is also renowned for reviving forgotten local wine styles, including the experimental “Abissi”—a sparkling wine aged under the sea. Each bottle embodies the rugged beauty and cultural legacy of coastal Liguria, offering purity, tension, and a deep sense of place.
