Le Moire

To understand territories require a keen sense for detail and to delve into the past. Our philosophy is to promote the culture of the region and to enjoy its specificity derived from a diversity of tastes. Close to the vineyard is an ancient Roman bridge called the Annibale Bridge where Hannibal is known to have led his warrior elephants. This noble beast is closely associated with memory and is an iconic image of a great journey through this land. -Le Moire

Where The Wines Come From

Calabria

Natural wine production in Lazio, Italy, mirrors the region's rich cultural heritage and diverse terroir. Situated in central Italy, Lazio is home to historic cities such as Rome and ancient ruins like Pompeii, as well as picturesque countryside dotted with vineyards. Native grape varieties such as Malvasia, Trebbiano, and Cesanese thrive in Lazio's volcanic soils and Mediterranean climate, yielding wines of distinct character and expression. Natural winemakers in Lazio embrace a philosophy of minimal intervention, practicing organic and biodynamic farming methods to cultivate healthy vines and preserve the region's biodiversity. In the cellar, they employ traditional techniques such as spontaneous fermentation with native yeasts and minimal sulfur usage, allowing the true essence of the grapes to shine through. The resulting wines are vibrant, aromatic, and full of personality, with a sense of terroir that reflects the unique landscapes of Lazio. Whether enjoyed with traditional Roman dishes or savored on their own, natural wines from this historic region offer a taste of Italy's winemaking heritage and a glimpse into the future of sustainable viticulture.
