Terlano Terlaner Cuvée Rarity 2008

Colour

Bright, pale yellow with greenish reflections.

Bouquet

Wide range of scents with notes of herbs such as chamomile, lemon balm, and lovage. This wine has also fruity hints of persimmon and dried apricot with final notes of bread crust and leavened dough together with aromas of flint.

Flavour

On the palate, this wine is soft and powerful, with a vigorous and lively acidity, but leaves a refined taste in the mouth, ideally integrating the mineral notes. The aftertaste is soft and elegant, yet extremely full and deep.

Matured cheese
