2024 Cantina Terlan, Pinot Bianco, Alto Adige

Cantina Terlan is the gold standard for Pinot Bianco. Sourced from steep alpine vineyards rich in volcanic porphyry, this wine offers a unique combination of texture and electric energy. The 2024 vintage—a cooler, later harvest—played perfectly to Terlan's strengths. Thanks to 6-7 months of lees aging in tank, the wine has a creamy, concentrated core, but the vintage signature is one of "crystalline" minerality. Expect a wine with moderate alcohol, high tension, and a long, salty finish. A reference point for the region.
