The estate has been certified organic since the 2019 vintage; no herbicides, pesticides, or fertilizers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eElena and Alessandro Nicodemi — architect and economist, respectively — left careers in Rome to continue the project their father Bruno started in 1970. Elena now oversees production; the philosophy, as the family puts it, is to let nature guide the wine into a mirror of the land. Terrana is the everyday expression of that idea: hand-harvested Montepulciano fermented and aged entirely in stainless steel, with no oak contact, and bottled within three months.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWine Enthusiast rated the 2022 vintage 90 points — Best Buy.
