Cantina Terlano's Terlaner Cuvée is enthusiastically described by the oenologist Rudi Kofler: "This historic blend, obtained from a blend of the three most traditional varieties grown in Terlano, namely Pinot bianco, Chardonnay and Sauvignon, has been produced since it founded the cellar, and it is an extremely structured wine. Pinot Blanc - the variety present in the highest percentage - gives it freshness and good acidity, while Chardonnay gives it softness and warmth, and Sauvignon Blanc adds its refined aromatic characteristics to the blend." Harvest and selection of the grapes are strictly by hand; followed by gentle pressing and racking for natural sedimentation. Fermentation takes place slowly at a controlled temperature, in stainless steel vats; the refinement lasts for 5-7 months on fine lees, partly in stainless steel barrels (80%) and partly in large wooden barrels (20%).

TERLANER CUVÉE CANTINA TERLANO: TASTING

The Terlaner di Terlano is presented in the glass of a beautiful straw yellow colour with bright green flashes. On the nose, it offers sensations of freshness, with notes of green apple, white peach, mint and lemon balm. At the sip, it has great acidity and flavour modulated by the fruit and lengthens with clarity. Always good, and in the company of all the daily dishes, perfect with a zucchini risotto, as with a seafood salad.
