Description
The 'Terrae' three-bottle case is a selection from the Terrae Laboriae winery that reflects the philosophy of Antonio Sauchella and Angelo Iannotti. Each wine is born in the heart of Sannio, in Campania, where the clayey and volcanic soil, the sun and the Tyrrhenian wind come together to give life to sincere and uncompromising interpretations.
The macerated white wine "Tetri", made from 100% Falanghina grapes, is inspired by the ancient Georgian method, coming to life in terracotta amphorae. It is a complex and fascinating wine, with a fresh and citrusy profile, with notes of lemon, apple and pineapple intertwined with floral nuances and a persistent and harmonious finish.
Speri, an orange wine, is another expression of Falanghina, intense and enveloping. The nose opens with aromas of orange and grapefruit, followed by hints of dried apricot, figs and honey. The palate is full and velvety, with a perfect balance between body, freshness and tannic finesse.
The selection is completed by the red 'Teli', made from native Camaiola grapes. Deep ruby in colour, it releases aromas of ripe red fruits, violets and light spices. On the palate it is soft and round, with silky tannins and a long, fragrant finish.

The white 'Speri' is the orange label signed by Antonio Sauchella and Angelo Iannotti of Terrae Laboriae. This special name means »orange« in Georgian and was chosen by the two producers as a tribute to the ancient method of amphora winemaking and to orange wines.
Speri is an intriguing take on pure Falanghina, the typical Campanian grape, ideal for those seeking an unconventional experience that reflects a clean, respectful approach to the raw material: enveloping and well structured, it releases evolved notes without sacrificing freshness. The grapes come from a special area of the region called Sannio, where the vines, planted on mainly clay and limestone soils, benefit from the Mediterranean sun and the constant breezes from the nearby Tyrrhenian Sea. Antonio and Angelo work the vineyards naturally, without chemicals or mechanisation. At harvest, only the best grapes are selected by hand, and the grapes are gently crushed in the winery.
During spontaneous fermentation with indigenous yeasts, the skins macerate with the must for at least four weeks.
This orange wine is then aged in terracotta amphorae (qvevri) for 12 months before being bottled unfiltered and with minimal sulphites. In the glass it has an intense, hazy orange colour; on the nose, fresh notes of orange and grapefruit balance those of dried and candied fruit, especially apricot, dates and figs. In the background the nose reveals a light smoky note. The palate is enveloping, well structured and full-bodied, with well-integrated, velvety tannins, a balance of complexity and freshness, and a deep, aromatic finish. The close is lightly herbaceous with an aftertaste of bitter almonds. An ideal companion to vegetable dishes, white meat and mature cheeses.

Terrae Laboriae’s skin-contact white 'Tetri' is inspired by ancient winemaking tradition, and its name is a Georgian word that recalls the word 'white'. It is made using the ancient artisanal method of fermentation in terracotta amphorae called qvevri. This wine is perfect for anyone looking for a natural wine that tells the story of a land and a passion for an ancient tradition. On the nose it reveals complex aromas of fruit and flowers, combined with a soft yet lively palate, a richness that also comes from the long maceration of the must on the skins. Tetri is made from 100% Falanghina grapes, one of the most renowned native white varieties of the area, praised by Pliny the Elder and poets of the past, and prized and loved by Roman emperors and the court of Naples.
The vineyards lie in the hills of San Lorenzo Maggiore on clay, limestone and volcanic soils at 400 metres above sea level, in the heart of the Sannio area of Campania, in southern-central Italy, washed by the Tyrrhenian Sea.
The vineyard is Guyot-trained, an ideal pruning method for hand-harvesting, with every effort made to take the utmost care of the grapes.
Winemaking follows a natural, artisanal approach that limits the use of sulphites and additives. The pressed must is left on the skins for 24 hours, while fermentation takes place spontaneously with indigenous yeasts. The wine is then aged in 1,000-litre terracotta amphorae for 12 months before being bottled unfiltered. Intense straw yellow and slightly hazy, the nose is fresh and complex, with a burst of citrus aromas such as lemon, balanced by sweeter notes of apple, banana, pear and ripe pineapple. Elegant notes of citrus and white flowers bring the palate to life. The palate is dry and lively thanks to its pronounced acidity, and the finish is long, well balanced and satisfying.

Terrae Laboriae’s red wine »Teli« is made from the local red Camaiola variety, a grape grown exclusively in the province of Benevento with a very long history dating back to the time of Pompeii. Today it is often used for its ability to add colour to red wines, but also for its ability to produce modern wines, full of fruity aromas, with soft, smooth tannins and very drinkable. Antonio and Angelo make their wines exclusively in the Georgian style, in amphorae called qvevri, and even the names of their labels are Georgian: 'Teli' in fact means 'red'. Terrae Laboriae is a small winery in the Campania region of Italy that pays great attention to the craftsmanship behind its wines and is constantly striving for quality, reflected in its limited production and in the exclusion of chemical additives, corrections, high sulphite levels, fining and filtration. The vines are grown on hilly land with clay and limestone soils, and they are tended and harvested by hand. The red wine is made by macerating on the skins for about eight days, during which the must ferments, started by the indigenous yeasts naturally present on the grapes. Every stage of winemaking takes place in Georgian terracotta amphorae (qvevri), and the wine is aged in amphorae for about a year before bottling. The result is an intense ruby red wine with bright violet hues that catch the eye. The nose is very rich and fruity, with hints of ripe red fruit, wild berries and delicate notes of roses and violets. Light vegetal notes and a touch of spice complete the picture. The palate is soft with smooth tannins and finishes full and long, recalling the sensations of fruit and freshness found on the nose.
Perfect with rich, savoury dishes such as grilled meat, mature cheeses or game ragù.
