our mission
At Terra Collective, we believe preserving artisanal production requires a shared commitment. Instead of anonymous transactions, we redefine the bond between small-scale producers and consumers. We aim to build lasting, meaningful partnerships that positively impact local communities and help ensure these traditions thrive for generations to come. This is why we not only taste the tradition but also invest in its future.

Our producers have a personal connection with Pierluigi beyond just business relationships. We know their stories, their people, and how they operate. We exclusively work with independent artisanal producers who maintain traditional production methods and share our values.
We aim to bring people together around great food and wine through two types of gatherings:
Local events in The Netherlands where we plan to showcase artisanal products and their producers, offering opportunities to taste and learn about food traditions.
