TERLAN Selection Terlaner Nova Domus Riserva Alto Adige Südtirol 2020

TERLAN Selection Terlaner Nova Domus Riserva Alto Adige Südtirol 2020 

The ruins of the Casanova castle, reported for the first time in a document from 1206, stands majestically at the gates of Terlano. Equally impressive and complex is our noble blend of Pinot blanc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc. This classic Terlaner reflects all the qualities of its production area, and presents itself as a vigorous wine, rich in facets and embellished with mineral notes. It fully expresses all its potential only after many years of aging in the bottle.

Characteristics

Color: fresh light yellow with light greenish nuances
Aroma: The aromatic structure of this Terlaner blend is rich in facets. A veil of herbs and spices, such as anise, mint and sage, but also fruity aromatic nuances, especially apricot, mandarin, melon and passion fruit. All embellished with mineral and salty notes.
Flavor: The effect of Nova Domus on the palate is complex and structured, with a creamy and soft taste that contrasts with the aromatic and mineral notes, giving life to a captivating symbiosis that lingers for a long time in the aftertaste.
