Kellerei Terlan Alto Adige Pinot Grigio Tradition — South Tyrol 2024
Kellerei Terlan's Pinot Grigio Tradition is the calling card of one of Italy's most celebrated alpine cooperatives — and the 2024 vintage is a benchmark expression of what Alto Adige Pinot Grigio can be. Sourced from high-altitude vineyards in the Terlano DOC, where cool mountain air and mineral-rich soils define the character of every bottle, this wine delivers the kind of precision and freshness that has made Kellerei Terlan a reference point for Italian white wine lovers worldwide. James Suckling awarded it 93 points, calling it "superjuicy and long with a savory finish."
The nose is aromatic and inviting: Williams pear, lychee, white melon, and the delicate floral lift of a freshly mown alpine meadow. On the palate, it is full yet mellow — layers of black tea, exotic melon, and ripe grapefruit framed by lively acidity and a clean, mineral-driven finish. It is the rare Pinot Grigio that is as compelling on its own as it is at the table.

Notes reminiscent of Williams pear, lychee and white melon - with the floral aromatic character of a freshly-mown meadow. With its finely balanced components - from aromas of black tea to exotic fruity nuances of melon and ripe grapefruit - this is a superbly full and, at the same time, mellow wine.
(Vintage 2023) James Suckling 93 Points | A rich pinot grigio with green mangoes, pears, apples, spring flowers and hints of vanilla and cream. It has a full body, round texture and tangy finish. Crunchy and gorgeous. Drink now or hold.
(Vintage 2023) Wine Spectator 90 Points | A sleek, refreshing and mineral-driven white, with zesty hints of white pepper and pink grapefruit peel to the flavors of nectarine, green almond, talc and white blossoms. Drink now through 2029.
(Vintage 2022) Wine Spectator by Alison Napjus writes: A vibrant white, with a pleasingly zesty edge to the flavors of crunchy white peach and pear fruit, grated ginger and blanched almond. Reveals a tang of salinity on the finish. Drink now.
