Terragrande Zagarella

14,60  IVA Inclusa
The Calabrese, a native cultivar, dominant and capricious, harmoniously welcomes two ancient and famous international grape varieties, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, grown on the gentle hills of the Zagarella estate named “a Terrarandi”. The meticulous and careful manual harvesting respects the timing of natural ripening, favoured by the sun’s warmth and the temperature shifts caused by the currents of the Strait of Messina. Terragrande tells the story of the land that has evenly nourished every single cluster of grapes from which it was crafted.

Tasting Notes

Ruby red colour with violet reflections, intense aroma with hints of wild berries. In the mouth, it shows good structure, balanced with delicate tannins and excellent persistence.

Production Technique

The grapes undergo a maceration process lasting about 8-10 days in stainless steel tanks; the controlled temperature combined with Ganimede® technology allows for an optimal and effective extraction of colour and polyphenols. After devatting, the slow fermentation continues and is completed by the subsequent malolactic fermentation phase. All Cantine Zagarella wines are produced using traditional winemaking techniques in full respect of the product’s natural character.
