Winery Notes: The quest was for the perfect creation, one capable of expressing the authentic, innermost character of Cantina Terlano, for a wine that would embody our tradition of more than a hundred years and would combine the strengths of our very best varieties and vineyards. We have achieved that goal. The result is the Terlaner I Grande Cuvée. 62% Pinot Bianco, 35 % Chardonnay, 3 % Sauvignon fermented in oak casks and aged in large oak barrels for 12 months.

Some wines make you understand why humans have been obsessed with fermented grape juice for thousands of years. This is one of those wines. It's like discovering a secret room in a house you thought you knew completely. Golden apple and white peach float on a cloud of Alpine herbs, while crushed stones and salted lemon keep pulling you back to the glass. Each taste unfolds with the precision of a master watchmaker but feels as natural as breathing. The texture makes you question everything you thought you knew about white wine. If you're lucky enough to find a bottle, cancel your plans for the evening. This is the kind of wine that deserves your full attention and rewards it generously.

The top-shelf wine from Cantina Terlano is this blend of 62% Pinot Bianco, 35% Chardonnay and 3% Sauvignon Blanc. The 2022 Alto Adige Terlaner Grand Cuvée Primo (with 4,000 bottles released) is brilliant, and I mean that literally and figuratively. The quality of the aromas is enormously fine and lifted with layers of stone fruit, mountain flower, yellow rose, poached pear, pie crust and crushed stone. Fruit is drawn from many small terraces farmed by members of this celebrated co-op winery.  - 96 points, The Wine Advocate

Our Tasting Notes: This is maybe one of the best white wines I've had in quite a while, and for the price, it better be.  Fresh herbs, melon, marzipan, earl grey, and mushroom on the nose, this wine is hauntingly beautiful, with vibrant acidity and a round complex palate with waves of savory earthy flavors and dried citrus.  While amazing now, this is one to hide away for a very special occasion.
