Fattoria Mani di Luna was founded in 2012 by three friends (Rocco, Simone and Alessandro) who took over an old estate that had previously belonged to the Lungarotti family, with the aim of bringing back its former glory with a great deal of love for agriculture and nature.
The farm is located in Torgiano (Umbria, Italy) at an altitude of 200-350 metres above sea level, an area historically favoured by the Etruscans for viticulture and fruit growing. Old vineyards of Grechetto, Trebbiano Toscano and Malvasia have been revived, while red grape vineyards were planted more recently with Sangiovese and Sagrantino.
The entire farm has been biodynamically managed since inception, using herbal teas, manure and compost. All soil cultivation, sowing, transplanting and decanting are carried out according to the lunar calendar. Their traditional winemaking methods require close physical contact with the grapes through manual harvest and foot stomping. Fermentation takes place without additional yeasts or temperature control, so the wines can fully express the natural flavours of the territory.
