“A composition of Terlano’s three most traditional white varieties, namely Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Sauvignon, this old cuvée, which was one of the wines produced when the winery was founded, is an extremely complex wine. 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” Rudi Kofler

Brilliant pale yellow with green nuances. Green apple and white peach combine with fine nuances of lemon balm and mint to create the typical aroma of the classic Terlano. Peach is very strong on the palate, too, lending the Terlano its lively character. The multifaceted, well structured flavor derives from an interplay of freshness and minerality and also has a wonderfully persistent finish.

Food Pairing: A traditional regional choice with Terlano wine soup, raw white asparagus salad, typical dishes like pizza and pasta with tomato sauce or foccaccia with rosemary or penne all'arrabbiata; parmesan and fresh pecorino; also with South Tyrolean dishes like bacon dumplings or sausage with sauerkraut, and with turkey breast with root vegetables or a fine veal roast.

2 x Ca Dei Frati 'I Frati' Lugana 2018 (Italy)

The Italian answer to Sauvignon Blanc!

When young, this wine is fresh, linear and furnished with great sophistication and elegance. With delicate hints of white balsamic flowers, traces of apricot and almond. Time enables it to evolve, allowing the mineral notes to be expressed with great determination, thereby acquiring its complexity with notes of spices and candied fruit. The palate is mouthfilling with lovely savoury essence, accompanied by strong, exuberant acidity.

Food Pairing: Perfect with starters and fish dishes.

Alc: 13%

2 x Santa Maria La Palma Aragosta Vermentino Di Sardegna 2020 (Italy)

AWARDED TOP 100: Wine Spectator

Pale straw-yellow with soft hints of green. Its winy aroma is well-balanced, delicate though distinct, with a fresh fragrance reminiscent of ripe apples. Harmonious, dry but not harsh, crisp and rather lively, with a pleasantly lingering aftertaste of almonds.

Food Pairing: Ideal accompaniment for fish dishes, especially shellfish.

Alc: 13.5%
