Azienda Agricola Luigi Fersini
The Luigi Fersini Agricultural Company was founded in 2015 with the aim of managing the family vineyard until then rented to a local winery.
The vineyard, located in Sogliano Cavour (Lecce) is grouped in about 11 hectares, under a certified organic farming regime and includes Negroamaro, Montepulciano and Primitivo grapes.
I make only a part of the grapes, the rest are sold to primary and renowned local producers.
For me, wine must be an expression of the variety, of the territory and reflect the climatic trend of the vintage. A wine not "perfected" by interventions in the cellar.
I have become and remain a farmer, I prefer to make wine by personally following all the phases at a local cellar where I have my silos, without having the distraction and commitment of having to manage a cellar and being able to concentrate on the agronomic management of the vineyards and on the natural transformation of the grape juice into wine.
I like to see my vines free, with the shoots grown uneven after the spring pruning, slightly maintained by the containment wires and with the smaller leaves together with the larger ones that appear messy as if the vines were "unkempt" accompanied by tufts of 'grass at the base of the
logs.
