2022 Cantina Terlano Pinot Grigio Tradition

This was gthe first Pinot Grigio I tasted that suddenly converted me (many years ago!) to the joy that truly great Pinot Grigio can deliver.

Intensive straw yellow color. Terlano Pinot Grigio pairs stimulating fruit - reminiscent of grapefruit, lychee and white melon - with the floral aromatic character of a freshly mown meadow. With its finely balanced components - from aromas of black tea to exotic fruity nuances of melon and ripe grapefruit - this is a superbly full and at the same time mellow wine.

Ideal with South Tyrolean hors d'oeuvres such as smoked bacon, cured meats like Bündnerfleisch or venison salami, and their typical Italian counterparts like Parma ham, dried tomatoes and olive paté; herb risotto, nettle dumplings or beetroot dumplings; lightly truffled dishes; tender veal and fine grilled fish.
