Terlan Alto Adige Terlano Bianco Riserva DOC Nova Domus

Terlaner Nova Domus

Characteristic: White Wine, dry

Denomination: Alto Adige Terlano DOC

Grape Variety: 60% Pinot Bianco, 30% Chardonnay, 10% Sauvignon Blanc

Terroir: sandy-stony, well-drained soils at Terlano, Orientation: South - Southwest

Vinification: Manual harvest and selection of the grapes; gentle whole cluster pressing and clarification of the must by natural sedimentation; slow fermentation at a controlled temperature in big oak barrels (30 hl); partial malolactic fermentation (Pinot Bianco and Chardonnay only) and aging on the lees for 12 months partly in big wooden barrels (50%) and partly in tonneaux barrels (50%); blending three months before bottling.

Description: fresh light yellow color with slightly greenish nuances. This cuvée has a multifaceted structure with a hint of herbs and spices, including aniseed, mint and sage, as well as nuances of fruit aromas, especially apricot, mandarine, honeydew melon, maracuja and passion fruit, all underpinned with salty mineral components. On the palate, Nova Domus is complex and delicate, offering a creamy softness in an interesting symbiosis with an aromatic minerality, and has the texture for a very long finish.

Pairings: Harmonizes very well with caviar and a good pairing with grilled salmon steaks and fried tuna, fiorentina T-bone steaks, saltimbocca alla romana or braised knuckle of veal; also with a parmigiana with aubergines and truffle fonduta.
