The 2010 Terlaner Classico is striking in this vintage. Clean, saline notes provide the backdrop for a beautifully expressive core of fruit. Texturally brilliant from start to finish, this blend of 60% Pinot Bianco, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Sauvignon is one of the world’s greatest values. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2015. 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.Importer: Banville & Jones Wine Merchants, New York, NY; tel.
