Description
What kind of wine it is
Terlaner Cuvée from Cantina Terlano is a still white wine with a harmonious profile, an emblematic expression of Alto Adige. It is created from a blend of Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The aromatic bouquet weaves together notes of white peach and green apple with citrus accents and hints of medicinal herbs, complemented by subtle mineral nuances. On the palate, it is juicy and enveloping, driven by lively freshness and a pronounced mineral streak that leads the sip towards a persistent finish.
Where it comes from
The grapes come from the hills of Trentino-Alto Adige, in the heart of the renowned Alto Adige Terlano production area. The vineyards stretch across well-drained soils, characterised by a sandy and stony matrix rich in porphyry. This specific soil composition imparts a clear territorial character and a measured savoury tension to the wine. The area boasts a deep winemaking tradition, enhanced since the late nineteenth century by Cantina Terlano, a winery that rigorously interprets the potential of this hillside terroir.
How it is produced
Vinification begins with manual harvesting and gentle whole-bunch pressing. After natural sedimentation, the must undergoes a slow fermentation at controlled temperature in steel tanks. Maturation continues for several months on the fine lees, divided between steel and large wooden barrels, a process that enriches the structure and creaminess of the wine. The different parcels are finally brought together for the final blending, resulting in an elegant, balanced glass with marked longevity.
History and Curiosities
Born from the historic expertise of Cantina Terlano, founded in 1893, the Terlaner Cuvée 2025 is the emblematic blend of Alto Adige. This masterful combination of Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc reflects the richness of the local porphyry soils. The carefully balanced ageing on the lees between steel and large oak casks offers an enveloping sip, where lively freshness balances a refined mineral savouriness. Elegant notes of peach, ripe apple and medicinal herbs delight the palate, finishing with a long persistence of unrivalled charm.
