"Luigi e Giovanna" is the modern and innovative interpretation of Orvieto Classico. Produced with a careful selection of each bunch of grapes from the vineyards planted on ancient soils of volcanic origin on south-facing hills. The proximity to Lake Corbara allows for a very special microclimate, with significant temperature swings between day and night, and fog in the autumn period that allows Botrytis Cinerea to develop on the grapes.

Il "Luigi e Giovanna" è l'interpretazione moderna e innovativa dell'Orvieto Classico. Prodotto con un'accurata selezione di ogni  grappolo dei vigneti piantati su di antichi terreni di origine vulcanica su colline esposte a sud.

The geographical area in which the wine with the designation Orvieto Classico is produced is located in the southwestern part of Umbria, As early as the 10th century B.C. there was wine production, started by the Etruscans after they conquered the cliff where they founded ancient Velzna, today's Orvieto. Intuiting how to exploit the tufa rock, the Etruscans developed a "three-story" system of winemaking-the grapes were crushed at ground level, transferred through earthenware pipes to the floor below where fermentation took place, after racking the wine was transferred to a further floor below where it was left to age for a long time. This process allowed for a quality and amiable wine, especially compared to other wines of the time. Calcaia is produced by leaving the grapes on the vine where during the fall fog allows Botrytis Cinerea to develop, the harvested grapes are fermented slowly and naturally.
