An abandoned vineyard for Lumiluna is a vineyard to be recovered; this is why we call ourselves "vineyard restorers", because in the midst of the many abandoned rows of our territory we have found vines, stories, genetic heritages and human signs. The winery is located in Mercatello, just south of Perugia; since 2015 we have been hunting abandoned vineyards to bring them back to life, rediscovering and enhancing vines that are almost forgotten and at risk of disappearing; the roots of a 50-year-old vine give the grapes a unique, particular and important history. Within the "younger" vineyards we found grapes that represent the winemaking tradition of our territory: Grechetto, Trebbiano and Sangiovese; angular, hard and strong vines that reflect the character of us Umbrians, but which if worked with patience and passion can turn into elegant, generous wines with a unique style. The first Lumiluna harvest is in 2018 and from the processing of these grapes, Diciannove, Casale dei Ceci and Rio dello Spineto, our three bottled wines, are born; we are Giulio (Rinaldi) and Luca (Bigicchia); we restore vineyards and make wine. Our roots are strong, deep and linked to the native Umbrian vines and to our land, but in some cases our branches come to explore different situations and possibilities, which lead us to use even atypical grapes, in always different proportions and methods.
