Ricordi

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.

Ricordi is produced by Terra delle Ginestre evoking the custom that in the past led many winegrowers of the lower Lazio, between Formia and Minturno, to mix the three varieties Metolano, Montepulciano and Merlot that ripened in the same autumn period. Respecting this tradition, the grapes of the different vines are harvested manually in the first ten days of October and immediately taken to the cellar to be immediately de-stemmed and cooled to 15 ° C, and then placed in a steel fermenter where the maceration of the skins lasts about 7 days at 20 ° C. Then the wine is decanted several times to obtain a natural clarification without external intervention. Since 2012 it has been bottled without added sulphites, but replacing sulfur dioxide with molecules of vegetable origin. Hence the full and genuine taste that make it an easy-to-drink red.
