For years, critics have opined that Alto Adige in northern Italy is home to some of the finest Italian whites.

They are!  

Terlano is the region's benchmark producer.  Their Vorberg Pinot Bianco is "one of the world's great Pinot Bianco (Pinot Blancs)." Wine Enthusiast

Vintage after vintage, there is consensus. "If I were stranded on a deserted island with just one bottle of wine of my choosing, it very well might be Terlano's Vorberg [2018]." Monica Larner, Wine Advocate

Restrained apricot peel, fiarly natural yet classy, but with a floral bouquet that opens up. The attack is full and impressively vibrant, almost electric, with filigreed elegance and a silky, weighted palate. Long and polished. This is incredible. Drink now or hold to achieve great complexity." James Suckling 99/100 Points

Terlano's Vorberg Pinot Bianco Riserva is gorgeous!  

It is so good, the winery produced magnums this vintage in even more limited supply.  They are perfect for al fresco dining when you have four or more guests.  You can order those, here. 

You will love how this chameleon complements a wide variety of cuisine - from seafood to pasta.  The wine boasts Burgundian charm with its crushed sea shells and Loire Valley-like chalkiness.  At 1,000 feet above sea level, the high elevation and rocky soil impart vibrancy to this sensational Italian white.  

An excellent companion to alpine cheeses, antipasti, and grilled vegetables, it is also a fantastic companion to pasta with garlic and olive oil as well as grilled halibut or Bronzino.

By the way, this wine is age-worthy too... and just plain yummy!

Enjoy!
