Terra Vita Vinum, located in the Anjou Noir region of the Loire Valley south of Angers, is a winery that embraces the unique geological characteristics of its terroir. The estate spans about 30 hectares and is structured around seven distinct terroirs, each contributing to a diverse range of white, red, and rosé wines. The Anjou Noir's dark rocks, primarily schists and various volcanic formations, provide a pronounced and unique character to the wines. The winery benefits from the region's low rainfall, suitable hillsides, and the influence of the Loire River and its tributaries. This diversity of terroirs, combined with the area's microclimate, creates ideal conditions for growing Chenin Blanc, the king of Angevin grape varieties. Terra Vita Vinum's commitment to organic practices and terroir-driven winemaking results in wines that express the distinct mineral qualities of each parcel, offering a true taste of the Anjou Noir's geological heritage.

This Vin de France from Terra Vita Vinum's Parcellaires range is a Cabernet Franc grown on the black, grey-green, and purple schist of Anjou Noir. Produced organically with hand-harvested grapes, it undergoes whole bunch maceration and aging in various vessels. The winery emphasizes creating unique, terroir-driven wines that reflect nature's offerings. This red wine features a complex nose, silky tannins, and a fresh, precise finish. It's recommended to serve at 13°C, enjoy between 16-17°C, and pairs well with grilled red meat or pot-au-feu. The wine has long-term cellaring potential.
