Description
What kind of wine it is
Terlano Gewurztraminer Lunare is a still, aromatic white wine produced by Cantina Terlano. Made from Gewürztraminer grapes, it displays a bright, pale golden yellow colour. Its organoleptic profile reveals a refined aromatic bouquet, characterised by exotic notes of lychee, grapefruit, lime and orange, interwoven with hints of candied rose petals and ginger. On the palate, the soft fruity nuances blend into an enveloping progression, delivering a savoury and dry sip of remarkable breadth. This aromatic white wine stands out for its precise taste and elegant structure.
Where it comes from
This white wine originates in Terlano, in the renowned area of Alto Adige. The vineyards are situated at various altitudes, benefiting from optimal south and south-west exposure. The Alpine climate, typical of mountainous and hilly regions, enhances the freshness and aromatic definition of the grapes. The South Tyrolean environment shapes a dry profile, capable of highlighting the mineral component. Vineyard management is entrusted to Cantina Terlano, a historic cooperative founded in 1893 and a solid point of reference for all local viticulture.
How it is produced
Under the guidance of oenologist Rudi Kofler, the grapes undergo a classic and meticulous vinification, designed to obtain a dry wine with exemplary aromatic clarity. The production technique preserves the distinct exotic and spicy notes, ensuring a brilliant technical balance supported by a pleasant acidity. Praised by international critics, it shows strong prospects for ageing over time. Served chilled, it enhances sweet and sour Asian cuisine, grilled fish, truffle gnocchi and pairs beautifully with delicate blue cheeses.
