Were it not for the clear indication Umbria IGT on the label, this Terre di Ala could easily be mistaken for an elegant white from the Bordeaux region of France. Like the wines from that area, in fact, this Umbrian white is made from Sémillon and Sauvignon Blanc grapes. Vinified with precision and care, the wine finishes its transformation with a period of ageing in stainless steel tanks for about 5 months. Then, after bottling, the wine returns to the cellar for a further rest period of about 2 months before being put on sale. One then discovers a beautiful wine characterised by a straw-yellow colour. The nose is elegant, with easy recognition of the aromas typical of Sauvignon Blanc, accompanied by hints of white flowers and citrus notes brought by the Sémillon. In the mouth, it is pleasantly mineral, savoury and balanced. An elegant white, it is characterised by the right acidity and long persistence. Excellent as an aperitif, this Terre di Ala goes perfectly with pasta and risotto dishes, but also with white meat and tasty fish. Versatility, that's for sure, is not lacking.
The history of this small boutique winery is strongly linked to that of its two founders. Paolo, a descendant of a family of ship-owners for three generations, has always been passionate about wine, ever since he strolled through the old cellars of the family home as a child. Noemia, on the other hand, was born in Rio de Janeiro, of Portuguese origin, from Porto. Her grandparents, upon arriving in Brazil, brought with them the historical tradition of wine. In 1985, after years of working in other activities, the two decided to start the project of their new winery, which was immediately based on elegance and exclusivity. In the countryside, the grapes are selected and harvested by hand. While the production phase is followed, step by step, by oenologist and agronomist Guillaume Gelly. The result is an award-winning portfolio of eight labels, organically produced, mainly from French vines, on volcanic soils in the Calanchi Valley in Umbria. Small curiosity. While waiting to reach the shelves of wine shops and restaurants, the wines are stored in cellars created by Noemia d'Amico and architect Luca Brasini. Carved out of tufa rocks, the cellar has magnificent arches that create an enchanting pathway and where classical music is played. A magical place to pamper excellent wines.
