Aromas of sun-warmed hay, summer orchard fruit and fragrant yellow wildflower lead the nose along with a whiff of botanical herb. On the smooth, savory palate, tangy acidity and saline notes accompany ripe honeydew melon, green apple and pear. (KO)

This Pinot Grigio is reserved on the nose, offering subtle aromas of creamy pear with a hint of green herbs. The palate is smooth, leading to a slightly bitter finish that adds an interesting contrast. It's a laid-back wine with a gentle character, perfect for those who appreciate a more understated style.

The 2023 Cantina Terlano Pinot Grigio Alto Adige presents a refined mineral-driven interpretation of this widely planted variety which demonstrates the precision and pedigree of this historic cooperative. The historic cooperative Cantina Terlano established in 1893 operates near Bolzano to produce Italy's most enduring white wines from its volcanic porphyry soil vineyards at high elevations. This Pinot Grigio bottling stands apart from common mass-market interpretations because it presents a structured profile with green apple and lemon peel and white peach aromas and mountain herb and wet stone notes. The wine presents a linear profile with bright acidity and a clean saline finish which expresses the alpine terroir. The stainless steel fermentation and aging process preserves the wine's purity and freshness which makes it suitable for light meals and as a vibrant aperitivo. The wine stands out as an excellent choice for those who want a refined Pinot Grigio that showcases terroir characteristics and genuine depth.

Notes

Cantina Terlano, one of the top producers in the Alto Adige region, is renowned for crafting precise, mineral-driven wines that reflect the unique terroir of the Dolomites. Their Pinot Grigio is no exception, offering a sophisticated take on this popular varietal, with a focus on freshness, texture, and vibrant acidity. The cool climate and high-altitude vineyards in Alto Adige allow the Pinot Grigio grapes to ripen slowly, developing complex flavors while retaining crisp acidity. On the nose, the Cantina Terlano Pinot Grigio presents elegant aromas of green apple, pear, and citrus zest, complemented by delicate notes of white flowers and a hint of almond. On the palate, it is medium-bodied and refreshing, with bright flavors of lemon, peach, and tropical fruit, supported by a vibrant acidity and a subtle minerality. The finish is clean and crisp, with a lingering note of fresh herbs and a slight saline touch, characteristic of the region's terroir.
