This is very refined and focused with precision and beautiful length that goes on and on, showing peach blossom and white peach, green apple, and slate. Medium body, linear and focused. It’s vertical and exciting. Single vineyard at an altitude of between 500 and 600 meters. One year in large oak casks from the 1980s and six months in stainless. Always on lees.
The Cantina Terlano 2020 Alto Adige Terlano Pinot Bianco Riserva Vorberg comes from an incredible site with quartz soils and steep inclines that see mountain temperatures drop immediately at nightfall. The bouquet is not fully neutral but almost, and you get texture on the palate. It exhibits Alpine flowers and slate, and there is slight crunch or bitterness on the close. The acidity is beautifully balanced and woven into the mouthfeel of this wine. Production is an ample 70,000 bottles, and this is one of the most successful and consistent wines in this portfolio.
