History
For many years, Terlao has represented the maximum expression of refinement and durability in Alto Adige.

The 143 members cultivate a total of 165 hectares of vineyards, with an annual production that exceeds one million bottles. These numbers are reflected in the quality of their white and red wines, which are loved by both the public and critics.

Straw yellow colour. On the nose it presents a fascinating bouquet of green apple and white peach, accompanied by subtle nuances of lemon balm and mint. In the mouth, it is fresh, balanced and harmonious, with a fascinating mineral note that persists until a long-lasting finish.
Possible combinations
Ideal as an aperitif, this wine goes well with asparagus salads and traditional dishes such as pizza, tomato pasta, rosemary focaccia or penne all’arrabbiata.
