Terra della Luna

Terra della Luna is an agricultural winery founded in 2006 by Alessandro Vignali. It is located in Ortonovo in the Colli di Luni region, on land historically known for its wines (“Pezzo Grande”), with roots in the 19th-century “Bianc Bon” made by the Fabbricotti family.

Vineyard, Land & Philosophy

• The estate’s vineyards are planted in the hills where Tuscany meets Liguria, with grey clay soils about a meter deep that strongly influence the wines’ character.

• Terra della Luna is committed to sustainable, low-intervention viticulture: no synthetic pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or systemic herbicides are used; coadjuvants and selected yeasts are kept to a minimum; respect for nature is central.

• The winery itself was built using bio-building materials and is powered by a photovoltaic system, with a goal of reaching zero CO₂ emissions.

Wines & Style

• Terra della Luna produces a portfolio of six wines, including Plinio “il giovane” Vermentino Colli di Luni DOC, Plinio Vermentino Colli di Luni DOC, Lun’antica Vermentino IGT Liguria di Levante, Caligré IGT Liguria di Levante, Scì di Luna IGT Liguria di Levante, and Vignali di Luna IGT Liguria di Levante.

• The whites focus on Vermentino, emphasizing aromatic intensity, freshness, and a clear expression of the Colli di Luni microclimate. The reds, often blends of Syrah and Grenache, reflect the richness of clay soils and the nearby sea influence.

Character & Values

• Terra della Luna combines tradition with ecological responsibility: restoring historical vineyard land and honoring legacy while working sustainably and with minimal intervention.

• The philosophy is to produce wines that tell the story of their soil, climate, and heritage — honest wines guided by nature rather than technology.
