About Winery and Wines

We are the proud owners of a vineyard in one of the most beautiful part of Italy. The place we are referring to is “Costa de Sera”, a peculiar tract of the coast-line with a special microclimate and steep slopes dominating the small bay of Canneto (part of the 5 Lands protected area). The will to give life back again to the “Garden of Litàn”, as grandfather used to call it, spurred us in the year 2000 to begin our adventure recovering and establishing the family vineyards that had lied abandoned for many years. With great passion, dedication, and hard work we finally opened our wine factory in 2006 and, in honour to our grandfather Giulio, we named it “Cantine Litàn”, (Litàn cellars).

CINQUE TERRE DOC "COSTA DE SERA" Wine colour, tending from a straw to a golden yellow, intense fragrance, savoury and dry to the taste. The processing starts by the seeping of the grapes at 15 to16 oC degrees for 36 hours, followed by removing the peel before the fermentation of the must and ends by the refinement of the wine in steel barrels for at least 7 months. CINQUE TERRE SCIACCHETRA' DOC Wine colour an intense yellow tending to an amber tonality according to the ageing of the wine, delicate fragrance, with a scent of raisin and prunes and sweet to the taste. It is made from selected grapes withered upon hurdles placed in well ventilated and cool rooms for 45 to 60 days. In order to avoid that some rotten grape-stone might compromise the fermentation, we divide the grapes from the stalks by a hand, and then we let them seep for 14 days at a temperature of 25 to 26 oC degrees.
