Kellerei Terlan

The Terlaner is a blend of Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. It is the historical Cuvée produced since the founding of the winery (1893!). The wine sparkles straw yellow with green hues. On the nose it offers notes of green apple and white peach. They are typical of the classic Terlan. Add to that, even subtle nuances of lemon and mint.On the palate, the white wine is invogorating but very soft. He also impresses with its freshness, minerality and great length.The grapes for the wine were picked and selected by hand. Stations of the winemaking-process: slow fermentation at controlled temperature in stainless steel; storage and ripening for 5-7 months on the lees in stainless steel tanks; finally, the assemblage a month before bottling.At about halfway between the cities of Merano and Bolzano is the wine-village of Terlan. The history of the South Tyrolean Cantina Terlano dates back to 1893. Over this long period Cantina Terlan has built an excellent reputation. The Wine Advocate stated in October 2014: "Cantina Terlano is one of the most prolific wineries in Italy and among the oldest in the region. It offers an outstanding line of wines that embrace multiple styles and philosophies. That inherent flexibility makes this co-operative winery one of the most exciting and innovative models in Italian wine today."Enjoy the Terlaner with salad of raw white asparagus, typical Italian dishes such as pizza and pasta with tomato sauce and focaccia with rosemary or Arrabbiata sauce. Also to Parmesan and Pecorino, fresh and classic South Tyrolean home cooking like bacon dumplings or turkey breast with root vegetables.

Das sortentypische Bouquet mit Aromen von reifen Äpfeln und Birnen offenbart dieser 100%ige Weißburgunder der Cantina Terlan. Weich, voll und harmonisch im Geschmack, verwöhnt er mit einem lang anhaltenden Abgang. Er ist ein herrlicher Begleiter zu Kalbfleisch, Geflügel, Pilzgerichten oder zu Käse, wie Camembert oder mildem Edelpilzkäse.
