Description
What kind of wine it is
Terra Merita is an Extra Dry sparkling wine that embodies the excellence of Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore. Produced by Gabe with Glera grapes, it expresses a refined bouquet of acacia and rose, enriched with notes of Renetta apple and Williams pear. On the palate, it reveals a fine and creamy perlage, accompanied by subtle hints of turmeric, the spice from which it takes its name. The balance between softness and freshness makes it perfect for pairing with ethnic cuisine dishes, rich starters and crispy tempura.
Where it comes from
The grapes grow among the Venetian hills, within the renowned subzone Rive di Guia. The vineyards rest on deep, clay-rich soils, composed of rock and sand sediments. This particular soil composition promotes natural acidity and optimal water management for the vines. These elements give the wine a distinctive freshness and an aromatic profile enriched with characteristic Mediterranean spicy notes.
How it is produced
Production involves gentle pressing of the grapes, followed by static decantation of the must and fermentation at a controlled temperature. The subsequent rest on fine lees for three months ensures the wine has a solid structure. The sparkling process is carried out using the Charmat method, with a secondary fermentation in large tanks lasting thirty to forty days. This method preserves the aromatic fragrance of the grapes, defining a balanced and highly enjoyable style.
History and Curiosities
This sparkling wine originates in the heart of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG, as a tribute to the land and the dedication of its founder, Gabriella Benedetta Vettoretti. Its enchanting name recalls the ancient name for turmeric, revealing delicate oriental nuances in the glass. The prized Glera grapes thrive on the gentle hills of the Rive di Guia, nourished by deep, clay-rich soils that impart a distinctive structure. Each sip releases a fine and creamy perlage, enveloping the palate in a fresh and harmonious balance.
