The cherry wine called Visciola del Lupo, Luca Tenti's true flagship product, is an ancestral product from the Adriatic side that will bring ancient medieval flavors to your mouth. The first recipe, in fact, dates back to that era, and was created to improve those wines that deteriorated with the first summer heat by adding local seasonal fruit. Just as the ancient Romans did, after all. The cherry wine was therefore born out of necessity, with many methods and recipes secretly guarded and passed down by every farming family. This wine is produced using the same method adopted by the Tenti family for generations, adding freshly picked visciole to the Aleatico red wine (the Vernaccia di Pergola). After fermentation, the product is left to rest for a few months and is bottled in the following spring. Why is it called Visciola del Lupo? The name Visciola del Lupo comes from the cultivation and production area. In fact, the ancient maps of the area refer to the zone with the term "Madonna del Guardalupo" due to the presence of a small ancient chapel consecrated to this name. The presence of this building is surrounded by an old legend that features a wolf, which inspired Luca Tenti to name his main product.
