The cherry wine known as Visciola del Lupo, a true flagship of Luca Tenti, is an ancestral product from the Adriatic side that will bring ancient medieval flavors to your mouth. The first recipe is, in fact, from that era, and was created to enhance those wines that deteriorated with the early summer heat, by adding local seasonal fruit. Just as the ancient Romans did, after all. Therefore, cherry wine was born out of necessity, with many methods and recipes then 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 harvested visciole to the red Aleatico 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 derives 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 church dedicated to this name. The presence of this building is surrounded by an old legend featuring a wolf, which inspired Luca Tenti to name his main product after it.
