Tasting Notes: The Terlano Porphyr Lagrein Riserva is an impenetrably dense garnet color with scents of brambly ripe blackberry and spice, balanced with warm oak accents. It is silky textured and layered with rivers of lush chocolate and wild berries supported in a framework of mineral and spice. Ideal with grilled lamb, venison au poivre, hardy stews and aged cheeses. The signature mineral found in the deep red porphyric soil in the mountains of South Tyrol lends its name to this immensely structured wine. The Lagrein Porphyr is fermented in stainless steel and then receives malolactic fermentation and aging in new barriques.
Estate History: Cantina Terlano was founded in 1893 in the Dolomite Mountains in the foothills of the Alps. Terlano's distinctive location and extraordinary terroir are key to the development of their singular wines. Situated in a sheltered hollow, Terlano benefits from an ideal south‐facing exposure. In the vineyard, red porphyric rocks with high mineral content retain the day's warmth, while the porous soil creates an environment with just enough moisture for the roots to extend deeper into this mineral-rich soil. In combination with cool evening temperatures, these factors create wines of incredible depth and potential for aging.
Cantina Terlano has grown into one of the leading wine growers' cooperatives with a current membership of 143 growers farming a total area of 165 hectares. Terlano ensures the highest standards of quality by compensating growers for the quality of their grapes not the quantity. The emphasis in the vineyard is on reducing yield in favor of producing more concentrated fruit.
