Winery
The Terlan Winery was founded in 1893 and is one of the most advanced winemaking cooperatives in South Tyrol. Its 143 members cultivate 190 hectares of vineyards and produce a total of 1.5 million bottles per year. For years, together with our members, we have been following with commitment and perseverance the path of quality, the same quality that has earned us fame and recognition in the Italian and international wine market. That's why, despite being relatively small, Terlano winery has become an established institution in its field.
In our modern facility we exclusively produce DOC wines, 30% red and 70% white. In 2009, we expanded the aging area to 18,000 cubic meters and completely redesigned it, also from an architectural point of view. Today, our wines find all the space they need to grow and develop fully. From the outside, the new wing of the building has a covering of red porphyry, the typical rock of the area which gives our wine a series of distinctive characteristics. The roof of the winery has been greened and covered with vines, seamlessly integrating into the surrounding cultivated landscape.
The distribution of wines produced is divided in two clearly differentiated quality lines: the Selections and the Tradition line. Moreover, every year we release on the market a "rare" wine, aged for at least ten years in our cellars, and conceived to give visibility to our philosophy of wines' longevity.

Description
Lagrein is undoubtedly one of South Tyrol's leading grape varieties, and it is gaining a great deal of interest, especially due to its fruity flavor, enriched by aromatic notes and soft tannins. This indigenous grape variety originates from the Bolzano basin, but for several decades it has also been cultivated and vinified in Terlano.

Bouquet: The bouquet is dominated by the intense fruity notes of ossicocco (marsh myrtle) and marasca cherry, enriched by a floral scent of lilac and cooked laurel. There is also a delicate chocolate tone.
Palate: Very vinous and harmonious on the palate, with a delicate texture and refined tannins that give Lagrein a very appealing fullness, making it a very full and velvety wine on the palate.
