The Story
The Gries vineyard rests in the Dolomites near Bolzano at an altitude of 850 feet ASL where the soil is light and drains easily. After the temperature-controlled fermentation is carried out in stainless steel tanks, the wine is aged for 12 months in oak casks (70%) and barriques (30%).
About Terlano
Producer Story
Founded in 1893, Cantina Terlano has grown into one of the leading wine growers' cooperatives in the Alto Adige region of northeastern Italy. Located in the Dolomite Mountains in the foothills of the Alps, Terlano's distinctive location and extraordinary terroir are key to the development of their stunning, world-renowned wines. With a current membership of 143 growers farming a total area of 165 hectares, Terlano insures the highest standards of quality by compensating growers for the quality of their grapes not the quantity. The emphasis in the vineyard is on reducing yield in favor of producing more concentrated fruit.
