This blend of 60% Pinot Bianco, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Sauvignon Blanc is a popular calling card for Cantina Terlano. The 2024 Alto Adige Terlaner Cuvée draws its fruit from steep slopes that capture the most sunlight hours. This blend has been produced for more than a century (since 1893). There is fragrant lift from the Sauvignon Blanc, but you also get mineral freshness and zest from the other two grapes. It offers a pretty silky texture for near-term drinking.

The 2024 Terlaner Cuvée is understated in the glass, wafting up with notes of sliced pear, white flowers and raw almonds. It balances zesty acidity with mineral-infused pit fruits and spice over a wave of silken textures. This echoes with inner florals as a subtle citrus twang adds dimension and a hint of green melon fades.
Our Tasting Note: Very perfumed with the Sauvignon Blanc leading the way even with just 10% of the blend, it shows with gooseberry and florals, white orchard fruits, apple, pear, grassy notes. Warming up and opening in the glass the nose deepens and is denser, more focused. Med+ body, rich, not opulent, excellent mid-palate, ripe and succulent fruits, med+ to high flavor intensity, long, finish to you feel as much as you taste.
