TERRARALDO

GAMBELLARA CLASSICO DOC

The story behind the bottle

In a kingdom hidden in the folds of the hills, there was a character called Terraraldo.
He was neither a knight nor a king, but a messenger, the silent herald of a precious treasure.

Terraraldo’s trumpet did not announce battles or laws; it emanated mysterious melodies that mingled with the breeze of the hills.
Each note told the story of that land.
The sweetness of the harmonies revealed the delicacy of the vines, while the strongest and bravest notes evoked the resilience of the volcanic rocks that made up the soil.

Proud and resolute, he walked among the borders of his kingdom, spreading the sound that brought the hills to life.
The hills, responding to the melody, came alive and spread out like a painting.
The fields were colored a vibrant green, and the rows of vines danced to the rhythm of his notes.

He made the territory spokesman outside his own lands. The sound waves were like invisible threads that bound the realm of the hills to the ears of those willing to listen., and he carried with him the essence of Gambellara.

THE GARGANEGA GRAPE

The Garganega grape is a white grape variety widely grown in the provinces of Verona and Vicenza and is one of the key elements in the production of white wines in the area.

It is prized for its resistance to disease and ability to express recognizable organoleptic characteristics, including notes of white fruit, such as apple and pear, accompanied by a floral character.
Garganega is able to faithfully reflect the characteristics of the terroir in which it is grown, giving wines a pleasant freshness and remarkable acidity.
Gambellara’s volcanic soil gives it a unique minerality and elegance.
