Cantina Terlano Pinot Bianco 2023
We have 6 in stock (Inventory is live and accurate)
Cantina Terlano’s 2023 Pinot Bianco Tradition comes from Alto Adige’s DOC Terlano zone, planted on slopes between 350 and 900 meters above sea level with a southerly to south-westerly exposure and gradients from 5 % up to 70 %. These vineyards sit between the protective Alpine ridges and the Ora breezes off the Po Valley, ensuring plenty of sunshine (over 2,100 hours annually) alongside cool nights—an ideal microclimate for preserving bright acidity and minerality in the grapes.
The Wine
This 100 % Pinot Bianco is hand-harvested, gently pressed, then fermented and aged on its fine lees in stainless steel tanks for six to seven months. The 2023 displays a clear pale-yellow color with a greenish shimmer and aromas of green apple, pear, white raspberry, and lime, underpinned by subtle chamomile and lemon-grass notes. The lees contact adds a creamy mid-palate weight without sacrificing the wine’s bright, saline-tinged finish.
The People
Cantina Terlano began in 1893 when 24 local growers joined forces to escape the control of large landowners and founded one of the world’s oldest wine cooperatives. From the start, Terlano stood apart by bottling its own wines rather than selling in bulk. In 1955, cellar master Sebastian Stocker initiated an experiment—reserving 500 bottles of each vintage to age in Terlano’s underground archive—and proved the exceptional longevity of their Pinot Bianco. That pioneering spirit endures today: 143 member-growers tend 165 hectares of terraced vineyards, and every bottle reflects the cooperative’s commitment to quality, tradition, and the pure expression of Alto Adige’s unique terroir.
Food Pairing:
Seared Scallops with Sweet Corn Purée & Meyer Lemon Gremolata – This dish highlights the Pinot Bianco’s refreshing acidity, sleek minerality, and subtle orchard fruit profile. The natural sweetness of the corn purée complements the wine’s silky texture, while the scallops’ delicate richness is lifted by the citrusy punch of the gremolata. It’s a pairing that combines texture and flavor with elegance and depth—without needing oak or butter to shine.
