Terracanta - Nina 2022 | Lazio IGT

Cultivation area: "Nina" is produced by the Terracanta company, located in Ardea, near the Castelli Romani, Lazio. The vineyards are situated on volcanic soils composed of clay, sand, and silt, with a tuffaceous subsoil, which gives the wine a particular minerality and sapidity. Cultivation practices: Terracanta follows certified organic and biodynamic farming methods, promoting biodiversity and respecting the environment. The harvest is manual, ensuring a careful selection of the grapes. Designation: Lazio IGT Grape variety and technical characteristics: Grape variety: 70% Trebbiano and 30% Malvasia. Vinification: Spontaneous fermentation in buried Georgian amphorae (Qvevri), without temperature control. The refermentation occurs in the bottle with frozen must, without the addition of sugars or yeasts. The wine is neither filtered nor clarified. Alcohol content: 11.5%. Tasting notes: Color: Straw yellow with golden reflections, slightly hazy due to the absence of filtration. Aroma: Fresh aromas of white-fleshed fruit, floral notes, and a hint of bread crust from the bottle refermentation. Taste: Lively and juicy, with a pleasant effervescence. Balanced, it has good acidity and a slight mineral sapidity, with a fresh and thirst-quenching finish. Food pairings: "Nina" is ideal as an aperitif and pairs perfectly with light dishes such as summer salads, seafood appetizers, fresh cheeses, and fried fish. Curiosity: The name "Nina" is a tribute to the producer's grandmother, who, together with the grandfather, started the agricultural activity in the 1950s. The choice to use buried Georgian amphorae for fermentation recalls ancient winemaking traditions, giving the wine unique characteristics and a strong territorial identity.
