TerraQuilia - La Cantina

Born from the love of the land and its fruits, in accordance with the environment, our cellar Terraquilia is set in Guiglia, a village located in a pristine and natural landscape.

The owner, Romano Mattioli, thought and realized his winery for all those who appreciate wine as an expression of a production philosophy rooted in the past. At about 450 m above sea level, the vineyards and the cellar are handled in full compliance with traditions, according to the seasons and to the slow natural rhythms, creating the right balance between vine and wine. Our products interpret the tradition of these lands, inherited by the first winemakers, our ancestors. Without the support of modern technology, they knew how to exploit the seasonal trend to control the fermentation process.

Our constant effort is aimed to limit as many as possible any alterations: first of all in our grapes, both during the harvest (by hand and in small cases) and during crushing (soft crushing), and of course, in every vinification phase in the cellar (for example, the gravity bottling without the use of pumps). As producers of natural wines, we are firmly convinced that it is possible to win this challenge: to give wine lovers a product, which is able to guarantee quality for the right period of time, preserving all flavors and aromas.

Our wine offer ranges from Lambrusco to Cabernet and Malbo Gentile, up to light white and rosé wines produced by NATURAL BOTTLE FERMENTATION. We propose also sparkling and spumante wines without the natural sediment disgorged “à la volée”. We want our wines to be an authentic expression of their terroir. Therefore we vinify directly in our cellar only the grapes coming from our estate located in Guiglia: Conca d’oro, Fratelli Bandiera, and Riva di S. Antonio. Our winery was born with a precise aim, or better, a mission: recover the old productive methods from the past, safekeeping the essential aspects and integrating them with new technologies, all this in order to guarantee the quality of our products.
