Lunaria means "of the moon." Sergio named it for the sulfur miners who worked these hills - men who descended into darkness before dawn and emerged after dusk, the moon their only constant companion. They looked up to it for guidance, encouragement, consolation. This wine does the same thing.
Most white wines either smack you in the face with acid and citrus, or they fade into the background like wallpaper. Lunaria refuses to choose. It's got the brightness - lemon, peach, white flowers, that mineral limestone backbone that screams "I'm from somewhere specific." But it's also got weight. Body. The kind of presence that doesn't back down when you put food in front of it.
This isn't a white wine that's going to politely step aside and let your risotto have the spotlight. It's joining right in. Oysters, soft cheese, swordfish, grilled vegetables, pasta that needs a partner - this is your wine.
If you like Sancerre but wish it had more to say, or if you're tired of Gewurztraminer's perfume shop routine, try this. It's what happens when you give Catarratto to someone who actually gives a damn.
