Il Generale

Terra delle Ginestre is a family-run farm founded in 1998, with the desire to bring to light ancient vines cultivated since Roman times on the Riviera di Ulisse, the southern coast of the province of Latina. Hence the recovery of almost unknown varieties such as Metolano and Abbuoto, among the red berried ones, alongside the better known Bellone and Moscato di Terracina, among the white berried ones. A passionate work of valorization of vines in some cases destined to disappear, but also a great attention in research, which led Terra delle Ginestre in 2012 to produce the first wines without added sulphites, and from the 2013 harvest to extend this practice to 50% of the vineyards cultivated in the 5 hectares of the company. An opportunity made possible by advanced studies on molecules of plant origin with antiseptic and antioxidative properties, which have made it possible to obtain wines that are stable over time, with great organoleptic properties while respecting the soil of origin and the typical characteristics of the fruit of each grape variety.

The Generale is a red produced with Abbuoto and Uva Vipera red berried grapes, harvested by hand and immediately taken to the cellar for pressing and maceration at a controlled temperature for 8 days with delestage and pumping over 1/2 times a day. After racking, the must ferments in 225 liter oak barrels where it completes the malolactic fermentation for 12 months. After which it's racked into steel where it ages for 3/4 months subjected to various stages of clarification. Its genuine taste characterized by a sweet tannin makes it ideal for savory dishes based on meat, game and aged cheeses.
