History
IThe name is inspired by the name of the town of Luni, 'portvs Ivnae' - Antique Roman Port. Lunae has roots in the millennium history of this land and of its population from which it inherited the wine making tradition. Lunae comes from Paolo Bosoni's sensitiveness and passion. In 1966, after inheriting the family business which had been dedicated to agriculture for generations, he concentrated on viniculture. His work and research have enabled him to increase the cultivated hectares, to recognize the most suitable areas and to recreate traditional vines.
His wife Antonella Bertolla is responsible for administration and co-ordinates the relationship with the 150 wine growers and contributors. In 2004, respecting family roots and rediscovering its past, CA'LUNAE was created with wine cellars on display and a centre for the production and culture of wine in an antique eighteenth century rural complex. Inside there is a museum of the material wine culture, the wine cellar, rooms dedicated to wine tasting and an antique distillery Essentiae Ivnae. The development of these new projects has coincided with the arrival of the new generation of the family. Diego, who is responsible for research, development and communication, as well as the laboratory and distillery, and, his sister Debora who deals with reception and external relations. Our land extends from the hills of Luni at the edge of eastern Liguria to the borders of Tuscany in the province of La Spezia. The cultivated land is characterized by small pieces of land split into areas on hills, at the foot of hills and on flat land near the archaelogical site of the Antique Roman Port in Luni. The Apuane Alps and the mountains protect the land from the cold north wind, good ventilation comes from the sea and there is a noticeable range of temperature which is excellent for the quality and characteristics of the wine. The composition of the land is geologically varied, a rich mixture in the hilly areas and those at the foot of the hills and clayey ground in the flat land. This variety is a distinct characteristic of the territory and represents great resources. Our vineyards are in the commune of Ortonovo and Castelnuovo Magra (La Spezia) and they extend over 45 hectares, 3 of which have experimental vineyards studying and developing the characteristics of traditional vines, in collaboration with the Ligurian Region and with the National Centre of Research in Turin. The property extends from the plain to 250m altitude. The favorable exposure, the considerable range of temperature, the excellent light and the diverse nature of the ground, intensify the strength of the vines, most of which are autochthonous, such as Vermentino, Albarola, Malvasia Pollera Nera and Massareta. Expert wine growers and young technicians, supervised by the Vine Expert Giancarlo Cucurnia and Paolo Bosoni, work daily in the vineyards respecting nature and traditional cultivation. The use of weed killers has been eliminated and natural fertilizers are used. The grapes are harvested depending on different exposure, the different types cultivated and also depending on a series of analysis and tasting of the bunches which are then accurately chosen.
The wine cellar which is equipped with temperature controlled steel tanks and oak barriques and barrels, is where these principals are expressed. Paolo Bosoni works with his brother Lucio and a group of 3 young wine specialists, following up his own philosophy with consistency.
