The vines grow at an altitude between three hundred and six hundred metres above sea level, sinking their roots into \u003cstrong\u003esandy and stony soils\u003c\/strong\u003e that ensure optimal drainage. These specific pedoclimatic conditions enhance the \u003cstrong\u003ecrisp and vibrant profile\u003c\/strong\u003e of the raw material, giving the wine its typical fragrance. The deep connection with the growing area allows Terlano to achieve an expression in which the balanced structure naturally merges with a lively fruity identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe production process begins with a rigorous harvest and \u003cstrong\u003emanual selection of the grapes\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by gentle destemming.

The union of the different components is completed with the \u003cstrong\u003efinal blending\u003c\/strong\u003e before bottling, defining the enveloping character and intense ruby red colour of this elegant oenological interpretation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn from the historic \u003cstrong\u003eCantina Terlano\u003c\/strong\u003e, founded in 1893, the Santa Maddalena Alto Adige DOC Tradition 2024 celebrates the excellence of the local winemaking tradition.
