Classic Method PetraMater - Tenute Orestiadi

Brut Sicilian sparkling wine PetraMater Orestiadi – Le Specialità line

PetraMater is the Classic Method Brut of Tenute Orestiadi and is part of the Le Specialità line. This line includes special products just as the winemaking methods are special and, even before that, the conditions of the Gibellina area in the Belìce Valley, where they are produced.

The name PetraMater is strongly linked to the idea of Gibellina which was reborn from the earth and art. The PetraMater label itself is a tribute to art: tactile and "material", it recalls a painting and, at the same time, evokes that white earth on which the Carricante expresses itself well in the Belìce Valley.
