Description
What kind of wine it is
Terlano Pinot Grigio Tradition from Cantina Terlano is a still white wine that expresses the purity of Alto Adige. On the nose, it reveals a fragrant and fruity bouquet, with aromas of apple, pear, lychee and white melon blending with fresh floral notes. On the palate, the Pinot Grigio is dry and pleasantly smooth. The lively acidic tension and elegant hints of black tea accompany the sip towards a persistent and clean finish.
Where it comes from
The vineyards are located in Terlano, at an altitude between 250 and 500 metres. This area of Alto Adige enjoys ideal exposures and a climate characterised by a marked Alpine influence, which is essential for preserving the aromatic freshness of Pinot Grigio. The porphyry-rich soils give the wine a distinct mineral character and vibrant energy. Vineyard management strictly follows the principles of natural cultivation.
How it is produced
Production involves a manual harvest followed by gentle pressing. The must ferments slowly at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks. The wine completes its journey with ageing on fine lees for about five to seven months, always in steel. This technical choice preserves the natural liveliness of Pinot Grigio, ensuring a smooth and perfectly balanced structure.
