The Lusenti Vini winery is completely converted to the organic cultivation system, does not use synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides, but manages the land only with green manure and uses exclusively and in an increasingly less invasive way sulfur and copper for parasite control. The vineyard extends over a hilly area of 22 hectares with an average age of the vines ranging from 12 to 80 years (grapes from the oldest vineyards are used for still wines). The territory in which we are located, the Val Tidone, which occupies the western part of the Piacenza hills, has always been suited to the production of sparkling wines. The stylistic and distinctive choice of Lodovica Lusenti begins with the obsessive care of the raw material 'grapes', with the aim of bottling only long-lived and characterful sparkling wines. For this specific reason, traditional cultivation methods have been combined with modern winemaking technologies, choosing at the same time to resume the production of wines with natural refermentation in the bottle, which can be disgorged after a variable period on the yeasts (from a minimum of 24 up to 50 months and more), but which are also offered in the unfiltered version "with the lees" for lovers of the so-called ancestral wines (Malvasia). Lodovica Lusenti sees her life as complete involvement, in pursuit of a project based on passion, quality, total respect for nature, and the authenticity of wine. Lusenti wines therefore have the duty to respect the vine from which they come and the year in which they were born. Only in this way can they last over time, first of all in the sensorial memory of the people who have drunk them and then in the cellar, should one decide to preserve them. Lodovica's continuous exchanges with many winegrower friends, from her own land, her town and the wine-growing areas of the world, have made her understand that only by safeguarding the environment is it possible to preserve our heritage of values, of unique and unrepeatable products. Only by working in this perspective is it possible to look to the future with confidence, even knowing that all this costs commitment and effort.
