Terlano I (pronounced Primo) Grande Cuvée is the name of the white flagship of Cantina Terlano. In recent years, the winery has made a name for itself worldwide with its long-lasting, mineral white wines. Even years later, the wines still present themselves with top freshness and great complexity. With this long history of white wines, since the 2011 vintage there is now a wine in which the essence of Terlan is expressed in an even more focussed way. Terlaner I Grande Cuvée combines the Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon grape varieties from the Winkl, Kreuth and Vorberg vineyards to create a masterpiece which, due to its limited and exclusive nature, will only be available from hand-picked retailers and in selected top restaurants.

Brilliant straw yellow colour. Rich and complex on the nose with flavours of citrus fruit, white pepper and herbs as well as a delicate smoky note. Remarkable structure and refined texture that give it finesse, elegance and an unmistakable character. The extraordinarily long and salty finish leaves an almost endless impression as an expression of a unique mineral terroir. SUPERIORE.DE

"Complex, warm, spicy, slightly creamy, hint of caraway. Firm, taut, salty, very precise, vibrant on the palate, long." Weinwisser

"The top wine from Cantina Terlano is a blend of 62% Pinot Bianco, 35% Chardonnay and 3% Sauvignon Blanc. The 2022 Alto Adige Terlano Grand Cuvée Primo is brilliant, and I mean that both literally and figuratively. The quality of the flavours is enormously fine and stands out with layers of stone fruit, mountain flowers, yellow roses, poached pear, cake crust and crushed stone." Wine Advocate

"Enormous bundles of ripe fruit: Kumquats, exotic pears and apples float against a backdrop of expansive oak richness; lushly structured with incredible mineral length." Decanter

"The 2022 Terlaner Cuvée I Primo is youthful and balanced. Teasing reveals depths of crushed nectarines and pears under a veil of sweet spices, raw almonds and mint. It opens with a balanced inner sweetness and a soothingly round texture, while a vertically building mix of crisp orchard fruit, citrus and savoury minerals saturates. The palate is filled with salty concentration and residual acidity, while nuances of lemon curd and chamomile finish. Bury the 2022 in the cellar and reap the rewards." Vinous

"Restrained wine with still toasty and straw flavours, along with an exquisite blend of yellow grapefruit and mirabelle plums, balsamic and broodingcedar. Full-bodied, dense and slightly phenolic, but balanced by weight and suppleness. More gastronomic than usual and very flavoursome." James Suckling
