The best wineries in La Spezia.
At the border between Tuscany and Liguria, the lands of Ortonovo and Castelnuovo Magra in Lunigiana, extend from the hills that precede the Apuan Alps to the Ligurian Sea. Here Luni is located, a Roman city very rich and with shining marble, that dazzled the barbarians down from the Alps, making them believe that they had reached Rome.
Cantine Lunae sinks its millenary roots in the history of this land and these people, from whom is has inherited the tradition of a great wine. Probably the Etruscans, or perhaps the Ligurians and then the Romans cultivated vines in the beautiful surroundings of Luni, the city of the moon (Luna).
It was the desire to revive the "garden of Litàn", so as he called it, that spurred us in 2000 to start our adventure, recovering those vineyards which lay abandoned for many years in the Municipality of Riomaggiore (La Spezia).
We are talking about that segment of coast, those steep slopes that overlook the beautiful cove of Canneto, which is part of the Protected Marine Area of Cinque Terre, a special area for its microclimate called "Costa de Sera".
With dedication, passion and hard work we were able to find, in 2006, our Winery, naming it in honor of our grandfather, Giulio, "Cantine Litàn".
The current surface of our vineyard is of about 10,000 square meters.
La Pietra del Focolare only produces wine made from its own grapes, four Vermentino wines and a Colli di Luni DOC red wine.
The promotion of four Vermentino wines is due to the different positions of vineyards, divided into micro–zones and located in three municipalities (Sarzana, Ortonovo, Castelnuovo Magra), and to the exposures and soil types that allow us to obtain wines that are different in color, flavor and aroma.
Less than two kilos of copper pentahydrate and a little wettable sulfur are the treatments carried out per year. Self–produced green manure, compost and wood chips are the nourishment with whom I feed the land where they my ladies grow. Earthworms, bred on purpose, are my operators of the underground. I do not run any filtration nor fining. I pursue the goal of being able to make a good wine, elegant, mineral, with varietal scents specific of Vermentino through the respect of the soil and of my vines.
