The sour cherry wine called Visciola del Lupo, the true flagship product of Luca Tenti, is an ancestral product from the Adriatic coast that will bring ancient medieval flavors to your palate. The first recipe dates back to that era and was created to improve wines that deteriorated with the first summer heat by adding local seasonal fruit. This was exactly what the ancient Romans did. Sour cherry wine was born out of necessity, with many methods and recipes then secretly preserved 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 sour cherries to Aleatico red wine (the Vernaccia di Pergola). After fermentation, the product is left to rest for several months and is bottled the following spring. Why is it called Visciola del Lupo? The name Visciola del Lupo comes from the cultivation and production area. Ancient maps of the territory name the area "Madonna del Guardalupo" due to the presence of a small and ancient consecrated chapel bearing this name. The presence of this building is surrounded by an old legend centered on a wolf, which inspired Luca Tenti to name his main product after it. Alcohol content: 15% Vol Serving temperature: 10 °C
Costs of £46.70, free from £290.00
