Territory and wine style

The Alto Adige Terlano DOC designation tells the story of an area suited for producing white wines of great definition, where the climate and temperature variations help preserve aromas and acidity. The grapes come from vineyards located at different altitudes, with a south-southwest exposure, a detail that contributes to a complete and orderly ripening. The style of the Terlaner Primo 2022 Grande Cuvée is that of an elegant and structured white, with slow fermentation, aging on the lees, and a clear mineral imprint, consistent with the winery's reputation and the vocation of the Alto Adige territory.

Tasting notes

The palate is lively and articulated, with white fruit returning and intertwining with a well-perceived mineral sensation. The structure is harmonious, supported by evident freshness and a long, clean, and persistent finish. It is a dry, elegant, balanced wine that is very precise in its taste progression.
