Gewürztraminer Alto Adige DOC - Cantina Terlan

In the glass, the Gewürztraminer Alto Adige from Cantina Terlan reveals a dense copper-golden color. The bouquet of this white wine from Trentino-Alto Adige impresses with nuances of honeysuckle, guava, orange blossom and lime. If we explore the aromas further, we find gingerbread spice, dark chocolate and cinnamon.

This Italian wine impresses with its elegantly dry taste. It was bottled with 3.3 grams of residual sugar. This is a genuine quality wine that clearly stands out from simpler qualities and so, despite its dryness, this Italian naturally delights with the finest balance. Taste does not necessarily need residual sugar. This crisp white wine is full-bodied and complex on the palate. Thanks to the balanced fruit acidity, Gewürztraminer Alto Adige flatters the palate with a soft sensation without lacking freshness. On the finish, this youthful white wine from the Trentino-Alto Adige wine-growing region impresses with its considerable length. Once again, there are hints of physalis and mango. Mineral notes from the sand-dominated soil are added to the finish.

Vinification of Cantina Terlan Gewürztraminer Alto Adige

This powerful white wine from Italy is made from the Gewürztraminer grape variety. The vines that produce the grapes for this wine grow on sandy soils in Trentino-Alto Adige. The grapes for this white wine from Italy are harvested exclusively by hand when they are perfectly ripe. After the grape harvest, the grapes are immediately taken to the press house. Here they are selected and carefully crushed. Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures. The fermentation is followed by maturation on the fine lees for several months before the wine is finally bottled.
