Rudi Kofler winemaker
With a mild Mediterranean-type microclimate imparting unique viticultural character, the
South Tyrolean province of Terlano can boast vinegrowing and winemaking traditions dating
back more than 2,000 years. Located in Alto Adige’s Dolomite Mountains, in the foothills
of the Alps, Terlano’s distinctive site and extraordinary terroir are the key to these stunning
wines. Situated in a sheltered hollow, Terlano benefits from ideal southern exposure.
Slopes ranging from 820–3,000 feet ASL allow for the prime cultivation of many indigenous
grapes. Vineyards composed of red porphyric rocks with high mineral content accumulate
each day’s warmth, taking the edge off cool evening temperatures, while porous soils allow
for optimum drainage. To insure high viticultural standards, Terlano compensates growers
according to grape quality, not quantity, placing vineyard emphasis on reducing yields to
ensure concentrated fruit.
“To say that an Italian cooperative winery produces some of the best white
wines in its region, if not the whole of the country, may raise an eyebrow or
two. But having recently blind-tasted the white wines of Cantina Terlano, from
the Alto Adige region in Italy’s northeast, I have no doubt that this is the case.”
