Description
With an ample 210,000 bottles made, 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.
