The cherry wine called Visciola del Lupo, true flagship of Luca Tenti, is an ancestral product from the Adriatic shore that will bring ancient medieval flavors to your mouth. The first recipe is, in fact, from that era, and was created to improve those wines that deteriorated with the first summer heat by adding local seasonal fruit. Just as the ancient Romans did, after all. The cherry wine was thus born out of necessity, with numerous methods and recipes then secretly kept and passed down by each farming family. This wine is produced using the same method adopted by the Tenti family for generations, adding freshly picked cherries to the red wine of Aleatico (the Vernaccia di Pergola). After fermentation, the product is left to rest for a few months and is bottled in the following spring. Why is it called Visciola del Lupo? The name Visciola del Lupo comes from the cultivation and production area. In fact, ancient maps of the area name the zone with the term “Madonna del Guardalupo” for the presence of a small and ancient church dedicated to this name. The presence of this building is surrounded by an old legend that features a wolf at its center, from which Luca Tenti drew inspiration to name his main product.
