It is also one of Italy’s best kept wine secrets, a secret only because they produce so little, thanks to extremely steep and impossible terrain that is often struck by landslides.  These are the wines\u003c\/span\u003e for which Laura Aschero is famous, at least in Italy (her wines are impossible to find here because the Italians drink them all).  A true pioneer for the quality wine movement there, she started her small project in the 80's, staying true to region's native varietals of the area: Vermentino, Pigato and the elusive red unicorn, Rossese.  Sadly, Laura passed away in 2009, but her son continues mom's traditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eVermentino thrives in this part of Liguria, so close to the ocean, and absorbs the terroir in a profound way, reflecting the salty, mineral quality of the sea.  In addition to a deep core of salinity, this wine goes a bit rogue with intriguing notes of passionfruit, apricot and Meyer lemon.  And sea salt -- the salinity in this wine is palpable.  Zesty but rich and palate-coating, Laura's Vermentino practically begs for something tasty drenched in olive oil.  A gorgeous wine that has the magical ability to transport one to a sunny, happy place by the sea, and brighten up any given Tuesday.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rock Juice Inc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67695803465888,"sku":"tte1792016022327","price":22.8,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1045\/5833\/0016\/files\/2018-laura-aschero-vermentino_1.jpg?v=1792016030","url":"https:\/\/boardroomwear.shop\/products\/2018-laura-aschero-vermentino","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
