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
Nova Domus Terlaner Cuvèe Riserva è un grande blend di uve bianche come Pinot Bianco 60%, Chardonnay 30% e Sauvignon Blanc 10%. Tutti i vigneti provengono dalla zona vocata dell’Alto Adige dove si trova cantina vinicola Terlan. Questo vino ricalca tutti i pregi della sua zona di produzione, e si presenta come vino vigoroso, ricco di sfaccettature e impreziosito da note minerali. Esprime pienamente tutto il suo potenziale solo dopo molti anni d’invecchiamento in bottiglia.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Ha un colore giallo chiaro fresco con leggere sfumature verdognole. Al naso è ricco di sfaccettature. Un velo di erbe e spezie, come anice, menta e salvia, ma anche sfumature aromatiche fruttate, soprattutto di albicocca, mandarino, melone e maracuja. Il tutto impreziosito da note minerali e salate. Al palato è complesso e strutturato, con un gusto cremoso e morbido che si contrappone alle note aromatiche e minerali, dando vita a una simbiosi accattivante che permane a lungo nel retrogusto.
