Tasting Notes: The Terlano Pinot Bianco evokes wonderful aromas of apple cider, chalk, and lemon zest. This clean and focused wine expands on the palate to reveal warm apple crisp, clove, and quince nuances. Possessing a long, concentrated citrus finish, this wine pairs perfectly with roasted pork, shellfish, and egg-based sauces or as a charming cocktail beverage. Made from Pinot Bianco grapes grown on the porphyric-gravel slopes of the Classico region. Fermentation takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks and the wine rests on the lees for six months before release.
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.
