The 2009 Chardonnay Kreuth is impressive. I have seldom encountered an Alto Adige Chardonnay where fruit, structure and terroir are all so beautifully balanced. Layers of tropical fruit and spices are supported by insistent layers of saline minerality. The polished finish is like a breath of fresh Alpine air. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019. These new releases from Cantina di Terlano are impressive. As much as I admire the top wines, I simply adore the entry-level bottlings for their unbeatable combination of quality, value and regional/varietal typicity.
