$35.99
Description
A three-grape white blend from the mountains of Alto Adige, this cuvée from Cantina Terlano leans on Pinot Bianco (60%) for its backbone, rounds it out with Chardonnay (30%), and finishes with a splash of Sauvignon Blanc (10%) for aromatic lift. It is a bottling with real history, made in one form or another since the 1890s, with the 2024 fruit coming off steep slopes that catch long hours of sun. Think of it as the house's calling card, a dry white built for drinking rather than cellaring.
The Sauvignon Blanc shows in the perfume, all white flowers and a subtle citrus twang, while the other two grapes bring mineral freshness and a zesty spine. There is sliced pear and a whisper of green melon, a note of raw almond, and pit fruits carried on a texture that feels genuinely silken. Understated at first, it opens with inner florals and a bit of spice, the acidity keeping everything bright. Best enjoyed in its youth.

Expert Reviews
With an ample 210,000 bottles made, this blend of 60% Pinot Bianco, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Sauvignon Blanc is a popular calling card for Cantina Terlano. The 2024 Alto Adige Terlaner Cuvée draws its fruit from steep slopes that capture the most sunlight hours. This blend has been produced for more than a century (since 1893). There is fragrant lift from the Sauvignon Blanc, but you also get mineral freshness and zest from the other two grapes. It offers a pretty silky texture for near-term drinking.

The 2024 Terlaner Cuvée is understated in the glass, wafting up with notes of sliced pear, white flowers and raw almonds. It balances zesty acidity with mineral-infused pit fruits and spice over a wave of silken textures. This echoes with inner florals as a subtle citrus twang adds dimension and a hint of green melon fades. (Vinous, December 2025)
