Gold Ancestral Wine Tasting at TerraQuilia

Here is what you will live

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 the 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.

Finally, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a tasting of 5 wines, including the winery's fine bottle-fermented wines produced with local varieties like Pignoletto, Trebbiano, Lambrusco Grasparossa, and Malbo Gentile. The wines selected for this tasting were chosen by the winery among those that most represent the production area, but it will be possible to choose other wines on-site, with the suggestions of TerraQuilia's expert.

The tasting will be accompanied by a small selection of typical products from the area: Salame Gentile produced with TerraQuilia's wine by a local artisan, Prosciutto di Modena DOP, Parmigiano Reggiano 24 months, Grissini, and Tigelle Montanare (local flatbreads).
