Pinot Bianco, as the main variety used in the cuvée, provides the freshness and a good acid structure, while Chardonnay delivers a pleasing warmth and mellowness and Sauvignon Blanc adds the fine aromatic character. Hand harvest and selection of the grapes; pressing and clarification of the must by natural sedimentation; slow fermentation at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, aging on the lees for 6 - 7 months partly in stainless steel tanks (80%) and partly in big wooden barrels (20%).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"container-title ch-primary-color\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"container-title-text\" aria-label=\"About Kellerei-Cantina Terlan\" tabindex=\"0\"\u003eAbout Kellerei-Cantina Terlan\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vertical-list-container\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"node-content-wrapper text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ch-text-node\" role=\"presentation\" aria-label=\"\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eLocated in the Dolomite Mountains in the foothills of the Alps, Terlano's distinctive location and extraordinary terroir are key to the development of their stunning, world-renowned wines. Situated in a sheltered hollow, Terlano benefits from an ideal south‐facing exposure. Vineyard slopes ranging from 250m-900m ASL provide perfect conditions for the cultivation of grapes, especially Lagrein, a variety that is indigenous to the Alto Adige region. In the vineyard, red porphyry rocks with high mineral content retain the day's warmth, while the porous soil creates an environment with just enough moisture for the roots to extend deeper into this mineral-rich soil. In combination with cool evening temperatures, these factors create wines of incredible depth and potential for aging.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nFounded in 1893, Cantina Terlano has grown into one of the leading wine growers' cooperatives in the Alto Adige region of northeastern Italy. With a current membership of 143 growers farming a total area of 165 hectares, Terlano insures the highest standards of quality by compensating growers for the quality of their grapes not the quantity. The emphasis in the vineyard is on reducing yield in favor of producing more concentrated fruit.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003eWinemaking \u0026amp; Aging Potential\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp id=\"p-rc_c6942d9b521acd49-39\" data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-22\"\u003eWhile 80% of the wine is fermented and aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve that bright, zippy fruit, the remaining \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"121\" data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-22\"\u003e20% is aged on the fine lees in large wooden barrels\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation-22 citation-end-22\"\u003e for 5 to 7 months.\u003csup data-turn-source-index=\"10\" class=\"superscript\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e This slight oak contact is what gives the Cuvée its creamy mouthfeel and structural depth. \u003cspan class=\"citation-21 citation-end-21\"\u003eThough it is absolutely vibrant and ready to drink right now, the high acidity and mineral backbone mean it can easily age and evolve beautifully in the cellar for another 5+ years.\u003csup data-turn-source-index=\"11\" class=\"superscript\"\u003e\u003c\/sup\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\nTerlano produces 70 percent white wines and 30 percent red wines, all of them of DOC quality designation. Following a winery renovation in 2009, the cellars now include a total of 18,000m of storage space, which ensures that the wines can develop undisturbed. On the outside, the building has a natural exterior of red porphyry, the stone that gives the wines in the area their typical character. The roof of the winery is planted with vines so that the building blends in completely with the surrounding countryside.\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\nTerlano wines are classified in four distinct quality lines: Tradition, Selection, Rarity and Primo.
