Lodovica Lusenti has run the “Lusenti Winery”, which she inherited from her winemaking parents, since the beginning of the 1990s. It is in Emilia Romagna, in the province of Piacenza, in the Val Tidone near Case Piccioni. The winery  extends over 17 hectares, all with Guyot trained vineyards, at an altitude of 250 to 300 metres above sea level; it is ideal vineyard terrain, giving excellent grapes which produce unmistakable wines.

We mainly grow native grapes from this area, Bonarda, Barbera, Malvasia di Candia Aromatica and Ortrugo. We make different styles of wines from the grapes we produce.

The classic range (linea classica) is made up of sparkling wines because they can be considered the forefathers of winemaking in this area. In the selected range (linea selezione), still wines are only bottled in good years and remain in barrels and subsequently in bottle for at least a year before being sold. Our aim is to guarantee the consumer the pleasure of a better product while safeguarding the intrinsic potential of each variety, for wines with specific personality. Land, climate and the producer’s commitment are three harmonious and inseparable factors. For us, winemaking is a choice of life and for this reason we started converting the winery to organic viticulture in 2010. Our wines are organic from 2014.

Our wines are the result of or work and our land and are different from year to year, which is the sign of traditional work and respect of what nature gives us.

Malvasia di Candia Aromatica, in the sweet dessert wine version, “Oro tra le vigne”, the late harvest “Bianca Regina”, the “La Picciona” Bonarda and the “Cresta al sole” Gutturnio are wines that are representative of our winery: they come from the oldest vineyards and we try to maintain their typical character and structure, which is made even more distinctive by the long maceration on skins; these wines capture all the charm of the world they come from in the bottle.
