In Terlano, where the winemaking tradition dates back more than 2,000 years, mild,
Mediterranean type microclimatic conditions impart unique characteristics to the
wines. Located in Alto Adige's Dolomite Mountains, in the foothills of the Alps,
Terlano's distinctive location and extraordinary terroir are the key to the development
of these stunning wines. Situated in a sheltered hollow, Terlano benefits from an
ideal south facing exposure. There, vineyard slopes ranging from 820-3,000 feet ASL
provide perfect conditions to cultivate their many indigenous grapes. Vineyards
composed of red porphyric rocks with high mineral content accumulate and retain the
day's warmth, while the porous soil allows the water to drain, keeping the soil dry
around the roots of the vines. To insure the highest standards of quality, Terlano
compensates their growers for the quality of their grapes, not the quantity. And in the
vineyards, emphasis has been placed on reducing yield in favor of producing more
concentrated fruit. These factors combined with the cool evening temperatures
contribute to the wines' enhanced quality. Wine Spectator's James Suckling writes,
"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.”
