La Luna Rossa was created with an initial sour beer which underwent 2 years of mixed fermentation (lactic bacteria, brettanomycetes). Then we added cherries for at least 6 months and we blended the new beer with a small part of other beers. La Luna Rossa is an ale that can remember a Kriek or a Flemish Red Ale. It has an extraordinary complexity associated with a strong character. For lovers of this kind of beers it is certainly hard to forget.

Bottle from Lortica, Bologna, bottle 6478, Cuvée 2010, 2 years old, batch 2010, bb 2050
Dark amber-red color, with sparse big bubbles. The aroma reveal cherries, some Bretts, light balsamic, very light acetone. It’s mostly uncarbonated; the mouthfeel is lean; some dryish malt flavor, with Bretts, and rather strong vinegary character; medium sourness, medium fruity touch, with grapes and some grapefruit bitterness; moderate bitterness overall, with cherry tannins in the end, and quite strong astringency.
An interesting one, with aging potential.

330ml bottle. Cloudy dark amber colour with some bubbles converting into a thin layer. Tart aroma with a vinegar touch, slightly pungent, fruity hints of grapes. Taste is dry and sourish with a sweet middle line, hints of balsamico, wine vinegar, red wine, tannic acid, red onions, mustard, mixed pickles, dill; subtle, flat carbonation. Complex, flavourful, sweet-and-sour taste, nicely balanced.
