THE WINE
Bolle di Terra was born from our desire to explore the many expressions of Vermentino, reinterpreting its character through the freshness and liveliness of bubbles.
The grapes come from our vineyards between Bolgheri and Cecina, where proximity to the sea and the Mediterranean climate contribute to shaping the wine's identity.
Sparkling winemaking using the Charmat Method preserves the delicate aromas and freshness of Vermentino, creating an approachable, well-balanced sparkling wine.
Bolle di Terra is made for sharing, from aperitifs to dinners with friends, offering a fresh, contemporary expression of our winemaking tradition.
