Cantina Terlano. Via Silberleiten 7, 39018 Terlano (BZ) Alto Adige
In the hills of Alto Adige, where time seems to stand still. Here, amidst the evocative ruins of Casanova Castle, amidst vineyards kissed by the sun and caressed by the fresh mountain breeze, Nova Domus is born, a DOC Alto Adige white wine that encapsulates the essence of a unique territory and the passion of a winery of excellence. Fruit of a blend of 70% Pinot Bianco, 25% Chardonnay and 5% Sauvignon Blanc, each variety gives the wine its best characteristics. The Pinot Bianco, in particular, gives structure and aromaticity, the Chardonnay elegance and softness, the Sauvignon Blanc freshness and mineral notes. Harvested by hand, the wine is softly crushed in the cellar, followed by slow fermentation in large wooden barrels and maturation on fine lees. Every stage is taken care of down to the smallest detail to enhance the unique characteristics of this wine. Brilliant straw yellow, on the nose Nova Domus offers a complex and fascinating bouquet that ranges from herbaceous and spicy notes to fruity hints, enhanced by elegant mineral notes. On the palate it is structured and complex, with a creamy, smooth flavour that contrasts with the aromatic and mineral notes, creating a captivating symbiosis that lingers long in the aftertaste. Perfect with caviar, grilled salmon or tuna.
Founded in 1893, Cantina di Terlano is one of the most pioneering winegrowers' cooperatives in all of South Tyrol. Its 143 current members cultivate 190 hectares of vineyards, resulting in a total annual production of about one and a half million bottles, divided into two lines, plus a few gems of great oenological value. In the modern wine cellar, only DOC wines, particularly whites, are matured, thanks above all to the new area created in 2009, where the wines have all the space they need to grow and develop to the full. From an architectural point of view, the Terlan Winery also deserves special mention. On the outside, in fact, part of the building has been covered with red porphyry, the typical rock of the area, while the roof of the winery has been greened and covered with vines, thus blending into the surrounding cultivated landscape. The wine archive of the cellar is unique in Italy with its 100,000 bottles from the 1955 vintage to the present day. However, the cellar also holds some ancient treasures: some bottles dating back to the year of its foundation!
