Gre GLu 2022 Mani di Luna

Gre Glu 2021 – Fattoria Mani di Luna

The naturally sparkling Grechetto celebrating honest simplicity

Made from 100% Grechetto grapes, Gre Glu 2021 is a naturally re-fermented wine that reflects the convivial, spontaneous soul of Fattoria Mani di Luna. The grapes are harvested by hand following the rhythms of nature and the stars. Grown biodynamically, the vines yield fruit with a fine balance of freshness and complexity.

Vineyard philosophy: biodynamic energy and intuitive harvest

The vineyard is managed according to biodynamic principles, maintaining the soil’s vitality and enhancing the cosmic connection between plant and earth. No chemicals are used, and each intervention follows the lunar calendar. A strict grape selection ensures only healthy bunches become part of this vibrant wine.

Cellar approach: ancestral method with frozen must

Using the ancestral method, Gre Glu is vinified naturally, with no added yeasts or sugars. A portion of the must is frozen at harvest and used in spring to trigger bottle refermentation, creating a delicate sparkle. No fining, no filtration: just a pure, living wine.

Tasting notes: freshness and clarity

Color: hazy golden yellow with a natural cloudiness.
Nose: aromas of yellow fruit, citrus peel and bread crust.
Palate: marked by zesty minerality, sharp acidity, and a joyful drinkability.

Food pairings

Ideal for a summer aperitif, it pairs beautifully with vegetable fritters, tapas, soft cheeses or crudo-style fish. A light, soulful wine.

Fattoria Mani di Luna

A story rooted in the land of Torgiano

In the heart of Umbria, nestled between the rolling hills of Torgiano and the fertile plains where the Chiascio river meets the Tiber, lies Fattoria Mani di Luna. This land, inhabited since Etruscan times, has always shown a strong agricultural vocation. Originally owned by the historic Lungarotti family, the estate passed in the 1970s to Mario Cascianelli, son of Maria Lungarotti. A lawyer by profession and a farmer at heart, Mario recognized the potential of the soil, promoting the cultivation of vines, olives, and cherry trees. Over the decades, this vision evolved into a new project, reborn in 2012 with a fresh identity.

A biodynamic rebirth: listening to nature to grow life

In 2012, three friends – Simone, Rocco, and Alessandro – joined forces to relaunch the estate, founding Fattoria Mani di Luna with the goal of converting it to organic and biodynamic farming. The name itself evokes an approach that respects lunar and cosmic rhythms. Their agricultural philosophy draws inspiration from Rudolf Steiner and Nicolas Joly, interpreting the land as a living organism with its own soul. Here, farming is not just a craft, but a way of resonating with soil, plants, and constellations, favoring balance between microcosm and macrocosm. Every action in the vineyard is thoughtful and intuitive, an expression of a deeper natural harmony.

Winemaking by hand, guided by the music of the spheres

In the cellar, everything is manual, artisanal, and respectful. Grapes are hand-harvested and carefully destemmed by hand to preserve their integrity, then gently foot-crushed in a ritual-like gesture. Fermentations occur spontaneously, guided by native yeasts using the pied de cuve method. All operations follow lunar calendars and cosmic indications, avoiding any kind of clarification or filtration. The wine is aged in glass-lined concrete, stainless steel tanks, and experimental clay amphorae. Sometimes, quartz crystals are used during ageing to refine aromas and give a unique energetic identity to the wines. Wine here becomes a living expression of place, time, and human connection.

A wine that is place, energy, and human relationship

Fattoria Mani di Luna doesn’t simply produce wine—it creates liquid works of art that reflect a specific identity. Every bottle is the result of territory, cosmic energy, and human care. Biodynamics is not just an agricultural method, but a way of life, where even human thought generates vital forces. Every harvest and fermentation is a dance between nature and awareness. This synergy gives life to authentic, vibrant, and deeply personal wines. Passion, respect, and shared energy are the invisible ingredients that infuse the wine with soul.
