Specification

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.

Lentisco is produced from Bellone grapes in the vineyards near the sea in the areas of Formia and Minturno, harvested by hand and immediately taken to the cellar for pressing and maceration at room temperature for 48 hours with trigger for fermentation. After racking, the must completes fermentation in 300 liter chestnut barrels where it remains on the lees for 8 months. After which it is racked into steel where it ages for 3/4 months before being bottled. The favorable combination of pedoclimatic factors and ancient winemaking techniques make it one of the longest-lived whites capable of maintaining its original readiness after many years.
