Lunaria Ruminat Primitivo

Winemaker Lunaria on the winery

"For us, great wine begins in the vineyard. For generations, our growers have worked the hills of Abruzzo, respecting the land and the traditions that have shaped this region. Driven by this belief, we have increasingly embraced organic and biodynamic viticulture. We believe in healthy soils, biodiversity and the natural balance between plants, animals and their surroundings. Through our Lunaria label, we aim to show what this philosophy can achieve. We work with native yeasts and keep intervention in the cellar to a minimum. This allows the grapes to express their natural character without imposing our own."

And on Abruzzo, Italy

"Our vineyards lie in the hills of Abruzzo, between the impressive Apennine Mountains and the Adriatic Sea. Here, the grapes benefit from warm, sunny days, while cooling air currents from the mountains and the sea help moderate temperatures. The significant difference between day and night temperatures is particularly important: it allows the grapes to ripen slowly while retaining their freshness. For Primitivo, this creates a lovely combination of ripe, concentrated fruit and lively freshness. A different expression of a grape variety more commonly associated with Puglia."
