2019 | Kellerei Terlan | Pinot Nero

Well-balanced with a mineral elegance that makes it dance on the palate. This red wine has a long and exciting finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Cantina Terlano is making great strides with the Burgundian grape. The 2019 Alto Adige Pinot Noir is beautifully fragrant and delicate with a full bouquet of wild berry aromas, violet, iris root and candied orange skin. The wine prizes intensity of aromas but also underlines a gentle and fragile approach. It is fermented (with malolactic fermentation) in barrique and botte. This vintage hits it out of the ballpark. Best after 2023.

• James Suckling: What a beautiful fragrance this very elegant Alpine pinot noir has! Fine red-berry and dried orange-peel aromas with delicate spice from oak. Wonderful integration of generous body and fine tannins, building gently at the long, structured finish. From vineyards between 500 and 600 meters above sea level.

Producer Information

Kellerei Terlan (also known as Cantina Terlano) is a leading wine producer in the German-speaking Italian region of Alto Adige – Sudtirol. The winery regarded as one of the very best cooperatives in Italy. It was founded in 1893 and now has 143 member growers farming a total of 190 hectares (470 acres). The village of Terlano is located halfway between the regions two main towns, Merano and Bolzano, in a wide section of the Adige river valley. Production is split 70-30 between white and red wine. The extensive portfolio includes wines from all of the major grape varieties grown in the region. The winery produces broadly four tiers of wines. The top cuvée is the Primo, or Terlaner I – a barrel-aged white wine made predominantly from Pinot Bianco, with Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc playing a supporting role. The Rarity range consists of wines that have undergone extended aging (up to a decade) in the cellars of the winery before bottling. The core offering, however, is based around the so-called Selection or Tradition ranges. The former includes the cuvées Quarz (Sauvignon Blanc), Nova Domus (Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc) Lunare (Gewürztraminer) and Porphyr (Lagrein). The Tradition – or Classic – range consists of varietally-labeled wines.
