Alto Adige DOC Sauvignon 'Quarz' 2023 (750 ml.) Terlan
The Sauvignon Quarz 2023 from Cantina Terlan is one of the finest expressions of the Alto Adige DOC. From vineyards between 450 and 900 meters on quartz porphyry soils, it benefits from strong diurnal shifts enhancing freshness and aromatic complexity. The 2023 vintage achieved perfect balance between acidity and fruit ripeness, with intense aromas of grapefruit, passion fruit, sage, and mineral notes. Fermentation in stainless steel and partial aging in wooden barrels add depth and structure without masking varietal purity. On the palate it is elegant, with vibrant acidity and long savory persistence. Excellent with asparagus, shellfish, grilled fish, and aromatic vegetarian dishes, it confirms itself as a white of great class and longevity.

THE COMPANY
A winery that for decades has represented the best of what South Tyrol can express in terms of finesse and longevity. Founded in 1893 in the town of the same name not far from Merano, the Terlano winery is one of the most cutting-edge producer cooperatives not only in all of South Tyrol but also in the entire Italian Peninsula, to the point of being considered a symbol of the most perfect cooperation mechanism in the wine sector. Its 143 members cultivate a total of 165 hectares of vineyards, resulting in an annual total production that far exceeds one million bottles. Mind-boggling numbers, which go hand in hand with the best wines of the region, both white and red, capable of consistently pleasing both the public and critics. Thus, Antonio Galloni of Wine Advocate in 2011 stated: “The best South Tyrolean wines I tasted this year come from the Terlano Winery. In short, they are reference wines. Wines that must be included in every important cellar.” A path, that of absolute quality, that the members of the Terlano Winery have embarked on with conviction over the decades, earning them fame and recognition in the Italian and international wine market. And so here are pinot blanc, chardonnay, pinot grigio, müller thurgau, gewürztraminer, and sauvignon blanc, along with lagrein, schiava, pinot noir, and torilan: grape varieties that are exalted in their essence when worked into traditional labels, and that become names - now - resounding when interpreted in the “selection labels”: Terlaner, Winkl, Kreuth, Vorberg, Gries, Siebeneich, Siemegg, Monticol, Quarz, Nova Domus, Lunare, Porphyr. In short, names that over the years have rightfully earned prestige and international recognition, turning the Terlano winery into a true institution not only of South Tyrolean wine but of the entire Italian wine scene.
