The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks, so there are no wood influences.

Perfect with roasted vegetables from the barbecue or a venison steak from the grill.

Carmina Terrae Winery
is a collaboration between four passionate winegrowers in Nardò, located in the picturesque Salento area of ​​Puglia, near the coast. This winery was founded in 1999 by five winemaker friends and has since grown from 20 hectares to 77 hectares of vineyards.

The vineyards of Carmina Terrae are located just ten minutes from the sea, which allows them to benefit from the gentle influences of the sea. The vines, planted in the traditional Albarello style, are up to 85 years old. These vines are carefully pruned in the spring to leave only a few bunches hanging, which benefits the quality of the grapes. The grapes are grown organically, without the use of chemical fertilizers, and harvested manually in small crates. In the winery, the grapes are selected again to use only the best fruit.

The Marra and Calabrese families, closely linked to the terroir of Puglia, have combined their expertise and passion to produce wines that reflect the unique character of the area. Carmina Terrae focuses on the indigenous grape varieties of Puglia, such as Negroamaro and Primitivo.

Region
Puglia is located in the very south in the heel of the boot. There has been wine growing there since 800 BC. Puglia has a Mediterranean climate and the highlands of the area are surrounded by the long coastline. The most important grapes in Puglia are Primitivo and Negroamaro . Today, the ancient passion for wine is combined with modern techniques in this region, resulting in innovative, high-quality wines.
