In Terlano where the winemaking tradition dates back more than 2,000 years, mild, Mediterranean-type microclimatic conditions impart unique characteristics to the wines. Located in Alto Adige's Dolomite Mountains, in the foothills of the Alps, Terlano's distinctive location and extraordinary terroir are the key to the development of these stunning wines.
When a grape earns the designation "classic" or "noble" it's because the wine it makes has become a household name.
