Tasting profile

Structure: medium-bodied, high acidity, dry

Cantina Terlano's classic-line Chardonnay, and it carries the house signature that makes this cooperative unusual: whites built to last, from a cellar that holds library bottles going back decades and releases them still fresh. Steel-fermented so the fruit stays unmasked — green apple, white peach and citrus over a stony, faintly saline minerality from the porphyry soils, with a light almond note. Medium-bodied and taut, with the high acidity alpine altitude preserves. Precise rather than opulent, and considerably more age-worthy than an entry-tier Chardonnay usually is.
