Terra is a red wine produced by the Benvenuto winery from Greco Nero and Magliocco grapes. After selection, the grapes undergo an extended maceration of at least 10 days in contact with the skins, followed by bâtonnage and aging on fine lees. The wine then rests and ages in French oak barrels until the natural malolactic fermentation is complete.
