PRODUCTION:
The Terra di Seta grappa was produced exclusively with fresh marc from the best Sangiovese, selected in the company for the production of Chianti Classico wine and organically grown. After racking and without being pressed, the grape skins were sent immediately to Nannoni Distillery (Paganico, GR), thus maintaining a significant percentage of humidity and optimum freshness. The marc was immediately distilled in selection, through a process of discontinuous distillation, in columns with a low degree and indirect steam; this type of distillation allows to keep the scents of fresh marc in the distillate.
"Nannoni" produces grappa for the most prestigious wineries of the whole Italian territory and the Pellegrini family gives the skins of their own grapes to this facility from three generations.
The white grappa Terra di Seta is transparent and clear. It is a grappa of great cleansing and immediacy, with an intense nose that immediately evokes hints of fresh marc. The palate confirms the olfactory sensations, remaining soft, not sweet and persistent, leaving a pleasant feeling of raisins.
This is a grappa from meditation. It was aged for a year in French oak barrels, and presents a visual inspection of pale yellow color with light amber tones. The aromatic evolution occurred during maturation in barrels is confirmed in the nose by the perception of delicate fruity and spicy. On the palate the grappa Reserve is warm, tasty and soft, confirming olfactory perception and maintaining a long and pleasant finish.
Warning!
Although Terra di Seta wines are certified kosher, grappa doesn’t have this certification because it was distilled outside the company.
The farm is located about 500 meters (1,640 fts. ca.) above sea level on a hill of ‘Galestro’ soil and 2 hectares (around 5 acres) planted with olive trees of Frantoio, Pendolino and Leccino. These plants produce few fruits, that have a more distinctive taste and aroma. The olives are harvested by hand in 48 hours directly from the plant and immediately cold pressed at the mill Frantoio di Vertine (Gaiole in Chianti). The pressing is made in the absence of oxygen. This process greatly reduces oxidation and ensures long life and freshness of the oil. The olive oil is characterized by low acidity, a medium spicy, slightly bitter and astringent taste, and a fruity aroma with hints of green wood oil and fresh herbs.
SIZE: 750 ml - 250 ml - 5 Lt
The farm has also a small organic beekeeping. Given the location of beehives, the bees produce a delicate and aromatic honey where you can feel the fragrance of rosemary and of arbutus and chestnut flowers. Due to its characteristics, this honey is both suitable for breakfast and for cheese.
Hundreds of tireless bees follow the course of the sun and fragrances brought by the wind to select the finest nectar from our flowers. This is their honey.

OUR CERIFICATIONS
The requisites that permit a wine to be called “Chianti Classico DOCG” are the provenance from a given territory of central Tuscany; and the strict adherence to all the rules of the production regulations established by the Consortium. A fundamental requisite is that the wine will be made by a minimum amount of 80% Sangiovese, the red variety typical of the zone. Among the principal sensory characteristics that a wine must have in order to be a Chianti Classico, as indicated by the production rules, is the ruby red color that can become intense and profound; the scent must offer floral notes of violets and irises, combined with a typical character of red fruit. The flavor is harmonious, dry, and sapid with a good level of tannin that thins as time goes by, becoming soft and velvety.
The laws of kosher food originate in the Bible, and have been observed by Jews for over 3,300 years.
Kosher wine is grape wine produced according to Judaism's religious law, i.e. the suitability of a food for a Jew, according to the dietary laws established in the Torah. To be considered kosher, Sabbath-observant Jews must be involved in the entire winemaking process and any ingredients used must be kosher. Wine that is described as "kosher for Passover" must have been kept free from contact with grain, bread and dough.
Established in 1935, the OK Kosher Certification is one of the world’s most respected symbols of kosher approval.
Organic farming is a production method defined and regulated at EC level by the EC Reg. 834/07, EC Reg 889/08, and at Italian national level by the Ministerial Decree (D.M.) 220/95. In organic farming synthetic chemical substances (such as fertilizers, weeding chemicals, antifungi, insecticides and pesticides in general) or Genetically Modified Organisms (GMO) cannot be used.
The crop protection is mainly done by selecting species resistant to pests and with appropriate cultivation techniques.
Organic farming is also a model of sustainable development that improve the quality of the resources of local communities, helping them face global competition.
