Cantina di Terlano Pinot Grigio 2022
(Trentino Alto Adige, Italy) - [JS 91]

"An extremely elegant wine is the Pinot Grigio with its multifaceted fruity bouquet. It convinces with its mild, round finish and balanced acidity."
Rudi Kofler

Tasting Notes

Smell: Our Pinot Grigio pairs stimulating fruit - reminiscent of Williams pear, lychee and white melon - with the floral aromatic character of a freshly mown meadow.

Taste: With its finely balanced components – from aromas of black tea to exotic fruity nuances of melon and ripe grapefruit – this is a superbly full and at the same time mellow wine..

Ratings & Reviews:

"Lovely aromas of honeysuckle and other flowers as well as mangoes and some peaches. Medium body, with a tight center palate as well as pointed minerality. Lightly salty. Open and clean. A little more on the finish would make it even better." (08/2023) Wine Spectator: "A vibrant white, with a pleasingly zesty edge to the flavors of crunchy white peach and pear fruit, grated ginger and blanched almond. Reveals a tang of salinity on the finish."

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2021 v.):
"Always a delightful wine to drink, the well-priced Cantina Terlano 2021 Alto Adige Pinot Grigio Tradition reveals a light gold color and characteristic aromas of lemon peel, dried hay, wild sage and crushed limestone. Only seeing stainless steel, the wine hits that intersection between crisp fruit and minerality. This is the secret of its massive drinking appeal. This versatile wine could pair with fish tacos, Thai salads, Mediterranean fish, and the list goes on." - Monica Larner (Dec 2022)

91 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"This wine reminds me of lace. Delicate yet strong and intricate at the same time. Aromas of ripe apples, cider, lilies, crushed stones and lemon zest. The palate is refined and elegant showing the depth and beauty of Pinot Grigio. Each sip you experience a new side to the wine with the focus on strucutre and texture. The flavors mimic the nose in near perfection." — Jeff Porter
