Tasting Notes: The Terlano Müller-Thurgau is pale yellow in appearance with a light aromatic bouquet of tropical fruit. Dry and medium-bodied on the palate with flavors of mango and peach balanced by crisp acidity. The Müller-Thurgau grape is a cross of Riesling and Madeleine Royale. Appreciated both for its amazing aromatics and unique flavors of peach and mango, this wine is fermented in stainless steel, which helps it maintain its fresh and appealing bouquet.
Estate History: Cantina Terlano was founded in 1893 in the Dolomite Mountains in the foothills of the Alps. Terlano's distinctive location and extraordinary terroir are key to the development of their singular wines. Situated in a sheltered hollow, Terlano benefits from an ideal south‐facing exposure. In the vineyard, red porphyric rocks with high mineral content retain the day's warmth, while the porous soil creates an environment with just enough moisture for the roots to extend deeper into this mineral-rich soil. In combination with cool evening temperatures, these factors create wines of incredible depth and potential for aging.
Cantina Terlano has grown into one of the leading wine growers' cooperatives with a current membership of 143 growers farming a total area of 165 hectares. Terlano ensures the highest standards of quality by compensating growers for the quality of their grapes not the quantity. The emphasis in the vineyard is on reducing yield in favor of producing more concentrated fruit.
