An expression of the \u003cstrong\u003eAlto Adige\u003c\/strong\u003e region, it displays a bright straw yellow colour. On the nose, it blends notes of exotic fruits, aromatic herbs and \u003cstrong\u003eflinty hints\u003c\/strong\u003e. The juicy palate is enlivened by a \u003cstrong\u003edelicate minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e, accompanied by an opulent structure and a savoury finish. These characteristics make it ideal to pair with \u003cstrong\u003eseafood crudités\u003c\/strong\u003e, risottos and mature goat's cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes are grown on the hills of Terlano, between 250 and 500 metres above sea level, benefiting from optimal south-west exposure. The soil, composed of \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic porphyry\u003c\/strong\u003e with quartz inserts, inspires the wine's name and imparts a unique territorial character. Thanks to careful \u003cstrong\u003emanual harvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e, the bunches faithfully reflect the peculiarities of this mountainous terrain. The microclimate and the mineral nature of the rocks give the wine a vibrant \u003cstrong\u003esavoury tension\u003c\/strong\u003e, outlining a precise and elegant profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the winery, a \u003cstrong\u003egentle pressing\u003c\/strong\u003e of whole bunches is carried out, followed by natural sedimentation of the must and a slow fermentation at controlled temperature. Ageing on the lees lasts nine months and is equally divided between stainless steel tanks and large \u003cstrong\u003ewooden barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e. The final \u003cstrong\u003eblend\u003c\/strong\u003e is assembled three months before bottling, perfectly balancing the freshness preserved by the steel with the roundness imparted by the wood, resulting in a harmonious wine with long-lasting flavour persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sauvignon Quarz Alto Adige DOC bears witness to the dedication of \u003cstrong\u003eCantina Terlano\u003c\/strong\u003e (1893). The name pays homage to the quartz crystals in the local \u003cstrong\u003evolcanic porphyry\u003c\/strong\u003e, a unique terroir that imparts a refined minerality to the wine. Under the expert guidance of oenologist Rudi Kofler, the hand-harvested grapes undergo meticulous \u003cstrong\u003eageing on the lees\u003c\/strong\u003e for nine months, equally divided between large wooden barrels and steel tanks. The 2024 vintage stands out for its opulent and sophisticated structure, reaffirming its established international reputation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Cantina Terlano","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46259703939243,"sku":"60565","price":63.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/6789\/2395\/files\/terlano-sauvignon-quarz-2024_60565_1_e5c2afd3-05cb-4311-8492-0af8670f9e05.webp?v=1773815029","url":"https:\/\/www.xtrawine.com\/en-be\/products\/terlano-sauvignon-quarz-2024","provider":"Xtrawine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
