Winemaker Description 

Terlano is a historic winery which, for more than a century, has been producing high quality wines a few kilometers west of Bolzano, thanks to the fundamental contribution of the 150 conferring members, whose grapes come from vineyards located at an altitude ranging from 270 to 900 meters above sea level, in a small valley with mainly south-west exposure.

Here the particular temperate microclimate and the composition of the soil rich in silica, clay and sand give character and extraordinary longevity to some white berried varieties, such as Gewürztraminer, which here reaches remarkable points of elegance.

Golden straw color, with unmistakable floral and fruity aromas of roses, pear, lychee and honey with tantalizing spiciness and mineral hints. Soft and sinuous on the palate, corresponding and fresh, with flavors of acacia and tropical fruit on the finish.

Exceptional aperitif, it goes perfectly with fish dishes, including smoked ones, oriental and Asian dishes and flowery rind cheeses such as Camembert.
