Cantina Terlano, Alto Adige (Italy) Pinot Bianco 2020

Mar 12, 2024

By Wayne Belding

 Cantina Terlano is a small cooperative winery in the Alto Adige region of Italy.  They make wines from some of the best vineyards in the region.  The Vorberg vineyard is a steeply-sloping site at a 1500-2000 foot elevation.  It routinely yields wines of impressive power and depth, as evidenced by this one.  It offers a beautiful display of varietal purity with aromas of peach, pear, pineapple and guava fruits backed by floral and spice hints.  The layered fruit character on the palate results in a seductive, full and creamy texture that enhances the rich fruit.  This lovely white will change your mind about Pinot Bianco.  It has the capacity to cellar well for another 5 to 8 years and beyond.
