Heir to an ancient recipe from the mid-19th century, handed down by their ancestor
The Cardinali family, made up of mother Amalia, father Giovanni, children Luca, Giselle and Cristiano with their respective wives and husband and 6 grandchildren, is heir to an ancient recipe from the mid-19th century, handed down by their ancestors.
Speaking with father Giovanni and his children, one perceives a sort of gratitude to the sea and to the time that, by shaping the lands, have shaped such a beautiful region and created a very particular land, suited to the spontaneous birth of wild cherries.
The prunus cerasus plant austere variety produces sour cherries called sour cherries.
In the Marche, the sour cherry wine was produced in ancient times to make the robust wines of the Castelli di Jesi (Rosso Piceno, Conero) more pleasant and to pay homage to the ladies.
With the same spirit of respect and preservation of ancient flavors, Visciolata del Cardinale was born, a typical drink from the Marche region, obtained in respect of the peasant tradition, from wine, sour cherries and sugar.
Cantine del Cardinale is located in the splendid setting of the Marche hills, precisely in Serra de 'Conti, a unique landscape that can offer different emotions and colors in every season.
Serra De ’Conti, a Slow Food Presidium, stands on a hill 217 meters high, to the right of the valley crossed by the Misa River.
The historic center offers a significant example of an urban layout of thirteenth-century origin.
The walls run along the perimeter of the ancient city, characterized by ten towers and a monumental fortified gate.
