That has attracted praise and recognition on the Italian and international wine markets, and in spite of its relatively small size, Cantina Terlano is now well established in the world of wine.

Vinification
Manual harvest and selection of the grapes; gentle pressing and clarification of the must; slow fermentation at a controlled temperature in stainless steel tanks, aging on the lees in steel tanks for 6-7 months.
Vintage 2025
The 2025 vintage was marked by a mild spring that encouraged early flowering and, thanks to warm and dry conditions, particularly rapid development—even in mid- and high-altitude vineyards—resulting in a concentrated harvest period.
A sunny June and a slightly cooler July, with well-distributed rainfall, ensured optimal water supply for the vines. These conditions were essential in producing fresh, well-structured white wines with lively, pleasant acidity.
A period of dry heat at the beginning of August enhanced concentration and aromatic intensity, benefiting the red wines as well.
Harvest began at the end of August, with very positive prospects. More humid conditions in September made the picking slightly more demanding; however, through increased manual work, patience, and precisely timed interventions, grapes of excellent quality were brought into the cellar.
Wine description
- Color: Brilliant light straw yellow.
- Smell: The stimulating aroma of the Gewürztraminer is reminiscent of lychee and mango with delicate notes of honeysuckle. The aromatic spectrum also includes notes of rose petal, which are typical of this variety..
- Taste: The unique quality of the aromatic character of the wine is continued on the palate, with fresh fruit and lively acidity combining with mineral notes to leave a very round and at the same time firm impression.
- Serving temperature: 10 – 12 °C
