Tenuta Santa Lucia Vinery er beliggende i det nordlige Italien i regionen Emilia-Romagna. Vi befinder os i den del, der vender ud imod Adriaterhavet (Romagna).
Vinproducenten lægges stor vægt på biodynamik og leger med nye vintyper – senest med to orange vine, som er ufiltreret og naturgæret.
Paride Beneditti fortæller: “I firmly believe that great wine is fundamentally tied to fabulous fruit, so vineyard care and traditional handling practices are employed to gently enhance the most authentic expressions of each varietal. Therefore we only use indigenous yeasts, carefully monitoring spontaneous fermentations to ensure a smooth transition of the wine from grape to glass; we let the wine freely express itself to disclose in the glass the tastes which are the essence of the terroir, once called by the Romans “genius loci”. This is how the territory shows the history of the men and the women who have loved and cultivated it for centuries: a territory that is alive and has got a soul we’d like to infuse into our wine so as to get moved by its flavours and tastes.”
Biodynamisk siden 1990
Santa Lucia er et traditionelt familiefirma, der er grundlagt tilbage i 1960’erne. I slutningen af 90’erne omlægges produktionen til vinfremstilling efter økologiske og biodynamiske principper, samt fokus på lokale druesorter. Vi har hjemtaget et udvalg af husets bedre vine, da husets helt billige vine ikke lever op til vores kvalitetskrav.
