The 2007 Gewurztraminer Lunare boasts fabulous depth and richness in its varietal fruit. This shows marvelous intensity in a full-bodied style that comes across as just a touch heavy. As good as the Lunare is, I increasingly think Terlano’s top wines are not significantly better, more complex or more pleasurable than the mid-level range. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2021.
The most impressive wines I tasted this year from Alto Adige came from Cantina di Terlano. Simply put, these are reference point wines. I can’t imagine these wines not being represented in any serious cellar.
