Terlano
Terlaner Cuvée Alto Adige DOC
-
Description :
A blend of Terlano's three most traditional white varieties, namely Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Sauvignon, this original cuvée, which was one of the first wines produced when the winery was founded, is an extremely layered and complex wine. Pinot Bianco, as the main variety used in the cuvée, provides the freshness and a good acid structure, while Chardonnay delivers a pleasing warmth and mellowness and Sauvignon Blanc adds the fine aromatic character.

Tasting notes :
Green apple and white peach combine with fine nuances of lemon balm and mint to create the typical aromas of the classic Terlano. Pronounced notes of peach on the palate, lending the wine its lively character. The multifaceted, well structured flavor derives from an interplay of freshness and minerality and also has a wonderfully long, persistent finish.
