Ludum organic passito wine is born from the best berries of Arciprete grapes, a rare variant of the ancient Bellone white grape.

Arciprete literally means 'archpriest' (the high priest) as Arciprete grapes were the favourite ones by a historical archpriest of Cori cathedral which cultivated this type of grapes to make the wine for the Holy Mass.

Arciprete white grapes give origin to a sweet wine with scents of wildflowers on Cori hills.

Arciprete grapes are cut and left on the plants to naturally dry and turn golden under the best of the sunlight. In this way, such a process enhances the natural sugars and aromas of the grapes.

In mid-November, the grapes are picked by hand and gently pressed.

Afterwards, the must is led to slow fermentation, aging then for twelve months in durmast barrels.
