Ca’ Lunae: wine, culture & tradition in Liguria

The charming winery and 18th-century farmhouse of Ca’ Lunae is nestled among the vineyards between Sarzana (Liguria) and Carrara (Tuscany).

This area is called Colli di Luni (Luni Hills), which is also the DOC title for red and white wines produced here.

The history of the Colli di Luni DOC wine production region has been documented since the time of the Roman Empire!

Ca’ Lunae is only 1 km from the historical ruins of Luni, one of northern Italy’s most important Roman archaeological sites. The winery is a 50-minute drive from Portovenere.

The history of Ca’ Lunae

Paolo Bosoni is the founder of Cantine Lunae. In 1966, he decided to continue his family’s work – for generations dedicated to agriculture – by focusing on viticulture.

The respect for family roots, local Liguria traditions, and research and studies characterize his meticulous approach to grape growing and winemaking.

Paolo follows the whole process with the support of his brother Lucio and a group of three young enologists, an agronomist and a wine master.

Ca’ Lunae goes beyond the concept of winery

Apart from the cellar, the wine shop and the wine tasting room – the estate also features the Museum of Wine and the Essentiae Laboratory. The latter produces handmade liquors and jams following ancient traditional recipes and using seasonal fruits.

The museum is dedicated to the material culture of wine. Paolo Bosoni’s personal collection of ancient agricultural tools is on display, creating an evocative path through the history of the rural world in the Lunigiana area. Here, you can follow an itinerary that reproduces five characteristic scenes of the agricultural sector: the soil, the harvest, the artisan, the cellar, and the wine.

In addition to learning about the art of winemaking, when visiting Ca’ Lvnae, you also learn about the processing techniques for making jams and discover the secrets and the history of traditional Ligurian liquors.

Make sure to visit the estate’s delightful herbs garden, featuring a vast collection of typical herbs!

The new wine cellar

Starting in 2024, Ca’ Lunae organizes guided visits to its brand-new and beautiful wine cellar.
The constant relationship between man, nature and art inspired the project of the new Lunae winery.

The naturalistic choice of construction materials and the finishing textures reflect the dialogue between man and nature. Colors that reflect earth, oxides and minerals determine the winery’s palette.

Each space in the new winery features artwork in the form of installations, lights, furnishing accessories, and internal architectural elements.
