Description
We have started a process of protection and research for the enhancement of local vines, with the intention to build their own identity. The vine Albarola has medium-small cylindrical, winged, compact clusters. The berries are always small to medium, oval, and probably precisely because of this “trodden” characteristic of the grape, in the past it was called “calcatella”.

Cantine Lunae deepen their roots in the millenary hystory of this land and people, whose great vine-growing and wine-making tradition have inherited. Etruscans, or perhaps Ligures and then Romans, were the first to grow vineyards in the surroundings of the beautiful Luni, the "Moon City".
These lands have given birth to our vineyards, to our passion, to our wine!

Production technique | This wine comes from the vinification of the indigenous Albarola grape. A grape variety historically used in blends, as it contributed to the harmony of the wine by giving it freshness and pleasantness to drink. It was virtually never vinified as a single varietal due to its particular characteristics. Albarola has a very compact bunch and must be grown in cool environments, on hills with good exposure and ventilation, which lower the humidity. After years of research in the vineyard and in the cellar, aimed at identifying the most suitable lands and vinifications, our pure Albarola is born, with the aim of demonstrating the great qualitative potential of this vine. |
Wine making | Cold maceration on the skins for approximately 8 hours, fermentation at controlled temperature in steel. |
