Ancestral Tasting Experience at TerraQuilia

Here is what's in store for you

TerraQuilia is a young winery nestled in the Apennines between Modena and Bologna, in the Emilia-Romagna region. Their vineyards are located between 500 and 750 meters above sea level and they focus on sparkling and spumante wines both produced by the ancient Ancestral Method, without the addition of must or yeast, as well as producing still wines. All TerraQuilia wines are unfiltered, have a free SO2 level lower than 30 mg/ l, are certified organic, and vegan.

Weather permitting, your experience will start with a walk through the wonderful vineyards of TerraQuilia, exploring the soils, slopes, views, breezes, and microclimate. There's no better start to the experience than to fully understand the importance of being rooted in this specific land.

Then the experience continues in the winery, visiting the winemaking, bottling, storage, and aging rooms where you will discover the production philosophy of the winery and the ancestral method.

This is followed by a tasting of 3 of the winery's most representative wines:
- TERREBIANCHE col Fondo, Bottle-fermented, with its own natural sediment. Pignoletto with small amount of Trebbiano. Crisp acidity. citrus, herbs. Revitalizing 
- NATIVO ANCESTRALE Bottle-fermented, Pignoletto disgorged with a small amount of sparkling white Trebbiano with hints of honey and lavender, intense stone fruit flavor, crisp, balanced by a distinct refreshing acidity. Long and mineral finish
