The Essence of Terlano, the perfect creation, an expression of the innermost character of Cantina Terlano. 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.”” Rudi Kofler, Cellar master The first release of this new and very special wine which will only be made available in selected vintages, in which all the climatic factors are just right and interact perfectly to enhance the character of the terroir. Cantina Terlano’s objective was to create a cuvée that reveals the very heart of its history and summarizes – in just a few select bottles – the best of Terlano’s wine-making culture; in short, to produce the best Terlaner in the world.

Daniel Grigg NR
Rich and complex on the nose, it develops salty mineral notes on the palate. The wine’s elegance and perfect balance are the product of its remarkable structure and subtle texture. It has an extremely long finish which leaves its mark in memory of the drinker. [Daniel Grigg, 01/04/2023]
