A wine made in Portofino for Portofino

Grape vines on a hill overlooking a harbour and the sea

ABOUT THE VINEYARD

With a commanding view of the sea, La Cappelletta perches 200m above the harbour on the Monte di Portofino. Vermentino vines cascade down steep, sun-soaked terraces, rich in minerals and hard to access by foot. Such rugged landscape requires intensive care from the farmers who train, prune and harvest each vine by hand.

Once a year friends, family and farmers gather at La Cappelletta to begin the harvest. It’s a magical time when the community comes together to celebrate the vines and all the hard work that goes into caring for them.

The Vermentino grapes are
hand-picked and taken to the Cantina to begin the fermentation process in small stainless-steel tanks. Acclaimed winemaker Carlo Ferrini has overseen the operation since 2023, blending his extensive knowledge with the natural potential of the vineyard.
