Doc denomination: Alto Adige Terlano

Variety: 60% Pinot Bianco, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Sauvignon Blanc

A composition of Terlano’s three most traditional white varieties, namely Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Sauvignon, this old cuvée, which was one of the wines produced when the winery was founded, is an extremely complex wine. Pinot Bianco, as the main variety used in the cuvée, provides the freshness and a good acid structure, while Chardonnay delivers a pleasing warmth and mellowness and Sauvignon adds the fine aromatic character.

Vinification

Description: Manual harvest and selection of the grapes; gentle whole cluster pressing and clarification of the must by natural sedimentation; slow fermentation at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, aging on the lees for 5-7 months partly in stainless steel tanks (80%) and partly in big wooden barrels (20%); blending one month before bottling.

Wine character

Color: brilliant pale yellow with green nuances

Smell: Green apple and white peach combine with fine nuances of lemon balm and mint to create the typical aroma of the classic Terlano.

Taste: Peach is very strong on the palate, too, lending the Terlano its lively but at the same time very mellow character.

The multifaceted, well structured flavor derives from an interplay of freshness and minerality and also has a wonderfully persistent finish.
