Quality in 1.5 Million Bottle
Wines with character are created in the cooperative winery
Creating long-lasting, multilayered wines with character: that is the goal that is pursued in the Cantina Terlano.
Its roots as a cooperative winery date back to 1893. Tradition
therefore plays just as central of a role in the grape and wine
production as new knowledge and modern technology do.
Some 143 members belong to the Terlano cooperative winerytoday. They tend no fewer than 190 hectares of vineyards that profit
from a very particular soil. “The Petersbach stream created a mud and
scree cone in Terlano which distinguishes itself by a high coarse
portion of stones and sand and which therefore warms up very easily,”
explains winemaker Rudi Kofler.
As head
oenologist at the Cantina Terlano, he is responsible for the total
number of 1.5 million bottles per year, all of which carry the DOC
designation. “White wines represent 70 percent of our production, so
the reds don’t even make up a third,” Kofler says. In the white
assortment, the Cantina Terlano has above all else Pinot Blanc,
Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Pinot Grigio, while the reds consist of
Lagrein, Pinot Noir, and Merlot.
In order for the white and red
wines to be able to mature into long-lasting, multilayered wines with
character, which winemaker Kofler has set for himself as a goal,
technological upgrades have been enlisted in recent years. Thus the
storeroom at the Cantina Terlano has been expanded over time to 18,000
cubic meters. Because great wines need both time and space.
