Questo vino

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from experimental vineyards where organic viticulture is practised.

Grapes

The text names Trebbiano and Garganega. It gives no proportions.

Vinification

The must is fermented in stainless steel tanks. No oak barrels are used, to preserve the wine's light, fresh character.

Ageing

The wine is aged in stainless steel tanks, not in oak.

Tasting profile

An easy-drinking dry white with a light, rounded style. It is refreshing.

Serving and pairing

The wine suits an aperitif or a wide range of dishes, none of which are named. It is refreshing on a summer day.

Label / history

  • Cielo e Terra was founded in 1908. Its name combines terra, Italian for "earth", with Cielo, the surname of the founding family.
  • In 1930 Pietro Cielo began expanding and improving production. New vineyards were established in 1962, which allowed output to increase.
  • The winery is now run by the fourth-generation brothers Luca and Pierpaolo Cielo. It owns around 300 ha and is one of the largest producers in the Veneto.
  • It belongs to Gruppo Cantine Colli Berici, one of Italy's largest winemaking groups, with around 4,000 ha of vineyards. Most of the company's wines are produced there.
  • With support from the group's winemakers, Cielo e Terra takes part in a project to improve every stage of winegrowing and production in the Berici Hills, from vineyard to bottle.
  • The Colli Berici are a chain of ancient volcanic formations between Verona and Padua. The climate is very mild and sunny, similar to the Mediterranean, and vines have grown there for thousands of years.
