ART and MUSIC
Born out of artistic inspiration, the Terralsole estate fuels the senses. A former art gallery owner himself, Mario Bollag surrounds himself with his finest art pieces, collected over many years throughout the world. From the Haitian and Cuban collection in the private cantina to the large-scale Asian sculptures throughout, to the personally commissioned works by Sienese artist Massimo Lipi, fine art is woven into every aspect of Terralsole. The sounds of the Violin can often be heard drifting through the vineyards by Athena Bollag as well as free-form jazz on the Piano by Mario, an accomplished musician in his own right. Musicians come from far to record music in the estates professional recording studio, TerraLuna Studios. We also produce concerts here at Terralsole as well as art exhibitions and invite you to come and enjoy this feast of the senses with us.

QUOTES:
They have in common with all great works – paintings and sculptures of rare beauty, inspired poetry and sublime music – the power to awaken in man a memory of something higher, to bring him into awe-struck contemplation of the complexity and beauty of the universe in which he finds himself.
(Nicolas Belfrage: Life beyond Lambrusco. Understanding Italian Fine Wine, 1987).
Farmer and artist, labourer and dreamer, hedonist and masochist, alchemist and bookkeeper: the winegrower is all of this, and has been since the time of the Flood. (Hugh Johnson: The Story of Wine, 1989).
