TERLAN Vorberg Reserve 2019

TERLAN Vorberg Reserve 2019

"On the southern slope of Monzoccolo, in the DOC territory of Terlano, there are sunny and steep vineyards where, at an altitude between 450 and 650 meters above sea level, an exciting Pinot Bianco is grown. This substantial and extremely complex wine is particularly striking with its minerality, its remarkable capacity for development and thus underlines the potential of this variety."

Description of the wine

Color: bright straw yellow with greenish reflections

Perfume: It is a very varied and multi-faceted bouquet that is perceived in this wine, with ripe fruity notes of melon, white peach, pear or delicious apple, but also with aromas of quince jelly, chamomile and pineapple, accompanied by notes flint minerals.

Taste: The combination of fruity, aromatic and savory taste components is also evident on the palate. The compact structure with an elegant creaminess blends into a very aromatic, persistent and distinctly mineral aftertaste.
