Wine in Venice Celebrates Excellent Wine-making

Written by Terre di Ger on 20 February 2023. Posted in Events, News.

2023 has just started with an extremely important wine event. The Wine in Venice exhibition celebrated the best 20 wineries from 20 Italian Regions, picked according to their sustainability and innovation practices.

Terre di Ger was the sole winery from Friuli Venezia Giulia selected for the event. Wine-tasting, masterclasses and talks were held in the Palazzo della Scuola Grande di Santa Maria di Misericordia, between the 28th and 30th of January, three days dedicated to developing wine culture and knowledge.

Innovation, Ethics, Sustainability, these are three cornerstones that help us coping with the present. They are necessary to bring about change and put mankind and the environment at the centre of our action. Wine and earth, wine and territory, wine and mankind, these are all core values that help our wine-making in a healthy and honest way.

Terre di Ger was present at the event, presenting its wines obtained from resistant grape varieties that require far less spraying in the field. A recent study conducted in Friuli has shown that fewer phytosanitary treatments – beside the clear benefits both for echosystems and consumers – also correspond to 38% less CO2 emissions in the atmosphere.

We have started this new endeavour with the aim of standing out from the highly industrialized viticulture of our region and heading towards a long-term wine-making alternative that is harder to achieve, but far more gratifying. The Wine in Venice exhibition has been the celebration of all these brave wineries that, just like us, have emerged around Italy.

One masterclass, in particular, has been really interesting, the title was “Wineyard Italia, the Best Examples in the North”. Our Caliere Rosso 2020 has been the only PIWI wine cited in the masterclass and it has been described as “a ripened cherry juice…”. PIWI wines have now emerged as top quality wines, dispelling all doubts and critiques coming from those who are still afraid of these promising alternatives to traditional wines.

A round of applause goes to all the organizers and professionals that took part in the event.

PIWI Wines Event in Venice

Written by Terre di Ger on 14 December 2022. Posted in Events.

Venice Events, Maria Botter and Angela Merati held the first national event dedicated to PIWI wines in Venice last weekend. 30 wineries growing resistant grape varieties participated in the event, representing the many wine makers that have been investing on this safe wine-making, beyond organic farming.

The event took place in the prestigious Carlton Hotel on the Grand Canal in Venice.

Our winery was present, representing Friuli Venezia Giulia, with three wines: Feltro Bianco 2021 (Mach Foundation Best Wine Award 2022), Caliere Rosso 2020 (Mach Foundation Best Wine Award 2022), and Limine 2020 our exclusive white wine.

Many wine enthusiasts, journalists and wine experts joined the event. A big hug goes to Luca Gonzato as well, probably the best ambassador for this kind of wines with his blog full of precious information and educational material. Two masterclass was held during the event, both presented by FISAR sommeliers, and our Caliere Rosso has been selected as the only red wine.

A discussion panel also took place, at the presence of PIWI International President Alexander Morandel and Regional PIWI Italia presidents. The promotion of PIWI Italia to represent the movement at the national level has been discussed, along with cooperation with other European Nations, towards shared goals such as a sustainable wine-making and the recognition of these grape varieties.

The success of the event will push future events next year both in Cortina d’Ampezzo and in Milan.

So we will see you there soon!

Merry Christmas and let’s start again!

The love for cycling meets our job perfectly: constantly in contact with nature, in the vineyards and orchards. The rider’s job is somehow similar to being a farmer. He works alone in every season, adapting to the environment and being part of it.

We’ve happily welcomed Peter Sagan and Team Bora-hansgrohe squad. We have spent a relaxing and easy day away from the media’s attention, in Terre di Ger’s vineyards and in the winery, chatting as friends.

It was great to spend time together and we would like to thank Ralph Denk for this opportunity.

We seize the opportunity to wish you all a Happy Christmas, in the hope that everything will start again at best.

Italian Flag Prosecco celebrates Davide Formolo’s unforgettable season

Written by Terre di Ger on 9 October 2019. Posted in Events, News.

A special edition of Terre di Ger’s Prosecco celebrates italian cycling champion Davide Formolo after an unforgettable season with Bora Hansgrohe.

Davide Formolo and his fun-club have celebrated the end of 2019 cycling season in Marano di Valpolicella, on last October 10. A limited edition of Terre di Ger’s Prosecco was dedicated to the new Italian Road Cycling Champion who won the championship last june in Borgo Val di Taro.

This was not only the end of Davide’s cycling season but also the end of an intense two-years long adventure with team Bora Hansgrohe during which Davide has lightened up many races thanks to his brilliance and perseverance. Davide has been so nice and polite during these years that a friendship has developed between us and him, a bond that goes beyond our sponsorship. This is why the limited edition labels make us so proud of supporting him: most of all we look back at the podium of the Italian Cycling Championships, while he was singing the Italian anthem after that unforgettable, solo victory.

Thanks for everything, dear Davide! And good luck for your future career!
