Home Red Wines Wines Luna Gaia, Nerello Mascalese `Logistilla

LunaGaia

Ripe red fruits and violets lead to a rich, elegant palate with earthy notes, spice, and savoury finish.

Producer Information

Born from a partnership between Cantina Orsogna cooperative and BioGaia, a biodynamic Sicilian farmer collective. LunaGaia labels are a visual homage to L`Opera dei Pupi Siciliana (the Sicilian Puppet Opera), a Sicilian storytelling tradition & UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. The wines tell the story of the Italian Epic poem "Orlando Furioso" by Ludovico Ariosto.

Wine Making

This is an indigenous grape from the slopes of Etna that for centuries has been cultivated in the County of Mascali (which gives it its name) on volcanic soils. The story of the label derives from the Italian epic poem `Orlando Furioso`. It depicts Orlando becoming overwhelmed with pain after finding his and his lost love Angelas` name carved in a tree. The wine is spontaneously fermented with natural yeasts allowing the grapes to express their true character.

Tasting Note

Ripe red fruits and violets lead to a rich, elegant palate with earthy notes, spice, and savoury finish.

Food Matching

Excellent partner to Mediterranean specialities such as tomato based pasta dishes, aubergine moussaka and full flavoured meats.
