This wine is made only in selected vintages, where all the climatic factors are just right and interact perfectly to enhance the character of the terroir. A blend of Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Sauvignon from Vorberg, Kreuth and Winkl, matured in big oak barrels for 12 months followed by a further year in the bottle and the addition of a small portion of earlier vintages.
Cantina Terlano's objective was to create a cuvée that reveals the very heart of its history and summarizes - in just a few select bottles - the best of Terlano's wine-making culture; in short, to produce the best Terlaner in the world.
Tasting notes:
Brilliant straw yellow
Rich and complex on the nose; multifaceted aromas of citrus fruit, white pepper and herbs as well as a delicate smoky note
The wine’s elegance and perfect balance are the product of its remarkable structure and subtle texture, which give the wine its unmistakable character. Its extremely long finish is more than pleasant; it leaves its mark in memory as the supreme expression of a mineral terroir that is unique in the world.
