Producer Terre di Pietra

VENETO

Terre di Pietra was born from the will of Laura who in 2005, at the age of 25, produced her first wine, helped by her husband, Cristiano, and her father-in-law, who left her a garage for the first vinifications, in Torbe di Negrar. In 2010 the construction of the winery in Marcellise began, from which the first spontaneous fermentation wine came out in 2011. The approach to viticulture as natural as possible comes from its own tradition and culture, so from the outset no products are used. synthesis. The vineyards are located in two different areas: in Marcellise, in the new area of ​​Valpolicella, east of Verona, on a hill about 250 meters above sea level, where the cellar is also located. And in Torbe di Negrar, in the classic area of ​​Valpolicella, north of Verona, on a high hill, between 450 and 600 meters above sea level. The vines planted are clearly Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Molinara with a few rows of Croatina, a little 'di Garganega and Marselan: curious and unusual experiment, French grape variety resulting from a cross between Grenache and Cabernet Sauvignon. Since 2013, all wines are spontaneously fermented and no chemical corrective agents are used except the use of sulfur dioxide and filtrations. The journey started with Laura continues courageously and stubbornly by her husband Cristiano, helped by her two daughters, Anna and Alice, after Laura's untimely death in 2017. Cristiano is increasingly playing the game with the production of a completely natural wine , by removing sulphurous and filtering the wines less and less, while maintaining a good quality standard, for fine and elegant wines, which have a great heart, because they only have the name of stone.
