Gianluca loves to experiment with the fruits of his terroir, and this still rosé wine is a project of his produced solely from the Oliva grape, one of the ancient Lambruscco varietals that takes its name from the olive-like shape of its berries. Harvested from 70-year-old pergole vines, the wine sees a light maceration, and has an intriguing interplay of ripe vine fruit and a bitter sapidity, with relatively low acidity.

In 2008, Gianluca Bergianti founded Terrevive with 16 hectares in the village of Gargallo di Carpi just outside Modena, operating according to strict biodynamic principles since day one. He has since expanded to 35 hectares, growing cereals, vegetables, fruits, herbs, and, of course, grapes—although vineyards, planted entirely to autochthonous varieties, comprise just 10 total hectares in this calculatedly polycultural setting. Gianluca’s commitment to low cellar intervention and to the pre-Charmat-method traditional method for producing Lambrusco—he even has a wine called “No Autoclave”—results in wines of shocking immediacy, intense personality, riveting acidity, and organoleptic qualities which do not fit neatly into boxes.
