Description
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.
