| Winemaker's notes | : |
The 2022 Terlano Chardonnay is a classic expression of Alto Adige Chardonnay from Cantina Terlano, one of Italy's most highly regarded white wine producers. Founded in 1893, the cooperative has built an international reputation for crafting mineral-driven wines that combine alpine freshness with remarkable depth and longevity. Sourced from vineyards situated on the slopes around the village of Terlano, the wine benefits from significant diurnal temperature variation and a combination of volcanic porphyry and mineral-rich soils. These conditions encourage slow ripening, allowing the grapes to develop aromatic complexity while retaining vibrant acidity. The 2022 vintage displays aromas of ripe apple, pear and white peach, complemented by notes of citrus, white flowers and subtle hints of almond. On the palate, the wine is medium-bodied and well-balanced, with a concentrated core of orchard fruit supported by fresh acidity and a distinctive mineral character. The finish is clean, persistent and finely textured, reflecting the precision for which Terlano wines are known. Unlike more heavily oaked styles of Chardonnay, the 2022 Terlano Chardonnay emphasises purity, freshness and terroir expression. The wine's balance of fruit concentration and mineral tension makes it approachable in its youth while providing the structure for further development in bottle. This Chardonnay pairs particularly well with shellfish, grilled fish, roast poultry, creamy pasta dishes, risotto and soft cheeses. Its versatility and freshness also make it an excellent accompaniment to a wide range of Mediterranean cuisine.
