Coraline

After the manual harvest of the Syrah, the grapes are destemmed and crushed. 5 days after the start of the spontaneous fermentation, the ciliegiolo is added. After fermentation, it is gently pressed.

The name of the wine, "Coraline" is derived from a song by Mäneskin.

Lumiluna

Since 2015, Giulio Rinaldi & Luca Bigicchia have been hunting for abandoned vineyards, to rescue and valorise local varietals. They believe every old vineyard is part of the local history and tradition, and a cultural heritage that cannot be forgotten. They work very much in a non-interventionist way, creating wholesome and very tasty wines.
