Corte Luceoli

On the road that connects the city of Urbino with the Adriatic Sea at a certain point you arrive in the Marche region and you will find an ancient medieval village: Cantiano. Its name has become famous worldwide for its extraordinary sour cherries and sour cherries. Quest&' the last are nothing more than wild cherries of the Prunus cerasus species, an austere variety. Their goodness was also known by &' ancient Royal House of Savoy, which was supplied directly from a &' local company. Along the Via Flaminia, near the town of Cantiano, you can see these cherry trees, which are increasingly rare today.

Corte Luceoli married Visciola di Cantiano a few years ago. The Tommasini family decided to take back an old viscioleto and bring it back to production. In addition, today she has taken it upon herself to replant these plants on other available surfaces. Unfortunately, Cantiano sour cherries produce little and the plants are not productive for many years. Certainly not like cherry trees. For this reason, there are many imitations around &' Italy. Marilena Tommasini with her family, brother and father represent the' the last bastion of reproduction of this extraordinary cherry to be preserved in syrup with only sugar and water.

Corte Luceoli and the traditions proposed in a modern key

Forget the many sour cherries you find around, so sweet that they are sometimes almost fake and certainly not appealing; Visciola di Cantiano brings with it a pleasantness and acidity that makes them particularly balanced with an almond finish that dries the palate and makes you want to eat more. In short, they could be defined as walking sour cherries, one pull l&' another.

They are extraordinary on ice cream, all&' inside chocolate pralines, topped with chocolate cakes, to enhance cooking wild game instead of red currants.
From Visciola, the Tommasini family also obtains l&' intriguing Visciola wine, nothing' other than Visciola juice that is added to dell&' excellent Sanngiovese from the Tuscan lands of the prestigious Nobile di Montepulciano. Also try them in jam with pears.
