Terlano is undoubtedly the most famous name in Northern Italian winemaking, having made wine in the Alto Adige since 1893. Renowned for their wines of unrivalled purity and character, their whites rank amongst the greatest made anywhere in the world. This is their Vorberg Pinot Bianco (Pinot Blanc), their top varietal wine and perhaps the most exceptional expression of Pinot Bianco we’ve ever tasted. Grown on south-facing slopes in the crisp alpine air, the wine was fermented and aged in old oak casks. Bursting with notes of stone and orchard fruits, the full-bodied texture is balanced by exceptional acidity and minerality. Breathtaking.

17.5/20 – Brilliant straw yellow. Compelling, deep nose with savoury breadcrumbs undertow and peach hints. Energetic spine of acidity and peach fruit. Very long and wired. Super-refreshing. – Walter Speller, JancisRobinson.com
