Kooperative Lunaria Orsogna
In central Italy, near the Adriatic Sea are Abruzzo as a picturesque part of the Apennines. At their feet are wide fields, vineyards and olive groves. Between the beach and the snow, the influence of the nearby Adriatic and with an optimal balance of sun and coolness, mature but not overly heavy wines. Orsogna is located at an altitude of about 500 m. The Cooperativa began in the 90s to convert the first vineyard areas to organic farming. Thanks to positive experience in cultivation, quality and marketing, the responsible project manager and oenologist Camillo Zulli convinced more and more members to follow this path. Today, 60% of the total production is certified organic, of which 15% in Demeter quality. All organic products grown under Demeter guidelines are marketed under the name Lunaria. Not only is the outstanding quality of all the bottled wines of this line, but also the traditional drawstring over the bottleneck, which is knotted by people from a connected handicapped workshop. With the sale of the Lunaria wines we are currently supporting the WWF Campaign Life Euro Turtles to save the sea turtles in Europe together with the winegrowers of the cooperative Orsogna (Abruzzo).

The great success of the red Bucefalo gave the winemakers of Lunaria the idea to dare the experiment of making wine from partially dried grapes. The result is impressive! Mild and dense, with very fruity aromas, catchy without being sticky.

Bukephalos was the horse of Alexander the Great, the most famous horse of antiquity. Especially is this wine. It is partially made from dried grapes, and the flavors are concentrated as well. Dark color, fruits dried in the nose and dried fruit, plum, subtle port wine aroma. Soft, warm and spicy, a great companion on cooler days.

The Riserva of the extremely popular 'Coste di Moro' is the carefully matured version. It shows the surprisingly good aging potential of the Montepulciano. Dense and substance, generous aromas that are reminiscent of a fine port wine in a positive sense. Exciting dialogue between fruit and dignified maturity.
