The Nova Domus Terlaner Riserva Alto Adige DOC from Cantina Terlan is an incredibly expressive South Tyrolean Terlaner white wine cuveé that presents itself with an enormous variety of aromas. In the glass, the Nova Domus appears in light yellow with slightly greenish nuances. On the nose, it exudes an extremely complex, multi-faceted bouquet with a hint of herbal and spice notes, anise, sage and mint, but also aromatic fruity aromas of apricots, mandarins, melons and passion fruit, complemented by mineral and salty notes.
 On the palate, this South Tyrolean white wine riser presents itself complex and well structured, creamy and soft, in an interesting contrast to the aromatic and mineral notes, an appealing symbiosis that resonates for a long time in the finish

Vinification of the Nova Domus Terlaner Riserva Alto Adige DOC by Cantina Terlan

This classic Terlano is a noble cuvée of Pinot Blanc 60%, Chardonnay 30% and Sauvignon Blanc 10%, powerful and complex, powerful, multifaceted with wonderful mineral notes. The Pinot Blanc brings elegant, slightly herbaceous aromas and fine acidity, the Chardonnay ripe fruits and melting, the Sauvignon Blanc exotic nuances and liveliness. This wine only  unfolds its full potential after many years of storage. The name Nova Domus comes from the ruins of the old castle Casanova from 1206  high above the gates of Terlano.

The grapes are handpicked and selected, then gently pressed as a whole and the must is clarified by natural decantation. Alcoholic fermentation is carried out slowly at a controlled temperature in large 30 hl oak barrels, malolactic fermentation is only partially carried out, only Pinot Blanc and Chardonnay, then the wines are aged for 12 months to 50% in Tonneaux and 50% in large wooden barrels. Three months before bottling, the cuvée is formed.

The Nova Domus Terlaner Riserva has storage potential of at least 8 to 14 years.
