WINE DESCRIPTION

Conti Zecca Terra is a tribute to the earth, embodying a deep-rooted commitment to sustainability and quality winemaking. Produced in Salice Salentino (LE), Italy, this wine is crafted predominantly from Aglianico grapes, thriving in the region's deep clay loam soils rich in organic matter. These soils not only nurture the vines but also contribute to the wine's character by ensuring optimal moisture retention and nutrient supply. The grapes undergo meticulous manual harvesting and selection, followed by gentle pressing and maceration for 8-10 days at controlled temperatures. Fermentation occurs in stainless steel tanks to preserve fruit purity, with subsequent aging in wood and bottle refinement. The result is a wine that harmoniously balances richness with finesse, boasting vibrant fruit flavors, a structured palate, and a lingering finish. Conti Zecca Terra exemplifies both the producer's ancestral bond with the land and their dedication to crafting wines of exceptional quality and character.
