Cielo e Terra, Terre Allegre, Trebbiano, IGT Puglia, Italy

Description

Producer Profile: Cielo e Terra is a joint venture between two families, Cielo, who have been making wine for over a century in Veneto, Puglia and the Cantina Sociale Colli Berici.

Drawing on the Colli Berici’s vineyard resources, combined with the Cielo family’s winemaking skills, their partnership consistently produces wines which are fantastic value for money from both indigenous and international varietals.

Viticulture: The soil is medium-textured, deep and on a tufaceous limestone substrate. The winters are mild with little rainfall and the summers hot and dry, despite having good ventilation.

Winemaking:  Manual and mechanical harvesting of the grapes with soft pressing and fermentation without maceration at a controlled temperature below 20 ° C and in the presence of selected yeasts. Storage takes place in steel tanks at controlled temperatures below 20 ° C, trying to protect the wine with nitrogen to avoid the oxidative effect of the air. Stabilization and bottling are carried out cold using an isobaric filler.

Tasting Note: Yellow in colour this light, crisp white has fresh zesty, citrus flavours and fruity notes and a clean refreshing finish.

Food Match: Excellent as an aperitif, with appetizers, with light first courses and second courses based on fish or white meats.
