Tasting Notes: Grown on the steep slopes of the Vorberg cru, the Terlano Vorberg Pinot Bianco Riserva is 100% Pinot Bianco. The grapes benefit from the temparture shift between the cool nights and warm days to produce ripe and concentrated grapes. Aged on the lees in large wooden barrels for a year, the aromatics of wildflower, pear and honey are reminiscent of white wines of Alsace. Layers upon layers of ripe pear, hazelnut, almond and smoke grace the palate and lead to a silky, creamy finish.
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.
