"Vorberg is one of the world's great Pinot Bianco (Pinot Blancs)... The wine culminates in a textured finish that spans across cuisines."

For 130 years (since 1893) this winery has consistently produced the finest wines of Alto Adige!

Cantina di Terlano, our personal favorite winery for whites, has been producing breathtaking wines in the Italian Alps for decades. It's no wonder they are also our customers' top choice for their house wine and weddings.

You will not find thin whites here, but you will find beautifully balanced, elegant, layered, fresh, mineral-driven, multi-dimensional beauties that will satisfy ANY wine lover.

These wines are indeed the greatest whites in the world: unique and evocative expressions of their terroir, all at our lowest prices in the entire country/state. Prices are a fraction of equivalent quality wines from more known regions worldwide.

Founded in 1893, the Cantina Terlano winery is now one of the leading wine growers' cooperatives in South Tyrol, with a current membership of 143 growers working a total area of 165 hectares. They have long had a strong focus on quality which has attracted praise and recognition in the Italian and international wine markets. In spite of its relatively small size, Cantina Terlano is now well-established in the world of wine.

"...no region in Italy makes more high-quality whites and reds than Alto Adige."

-Vinous 2020 Article

"The classic line offers tremendous value, while the single-vineyard wines and the selections are some of the most unique whites in Italy today. There is not too much else to say, except that these wines are terrific across the board and highly recommended."

-Vinous 2018 Article

2021 Terlano Vorberg Riserva Pinot Bianco, Trentino Alto-Adige (Pinot Blanc)

Most Famous Cellar-Worthy Single-Vineyard Reserve Pinot Blanc

99 Points - James Suckling:

Restrained apricot peel, fairly neutral yet classy, but with a floral bouquet that opens up. The attack is full and impressively vibrant, almost electric, with filigreed elegance and a silky, weighted palate. Long and polished. This is incredible. Drink now or hold to achieve greater complexity.

95 Points - Wine Enthusiast:

Vorberg is one of the world's great Pinot Bianco (Pinot Blancs) and opens with a fragrant aroma of ripe pear, green apple, and hints of almond. On the palate, it is vibrant with an interplay of citrus and stone fruit, carried by a refreshing acidity. The wine culminates in a textured finish that spans across cuisines. *Cellar Selection* 

94 Points - Vinous:

The 2021 Pinot Bianco Riserva Vorberg is youthfully coiled, as an airy blend of wild herbs and dried flowers gives way to young peach and apricot. This is seamlessly silky and serene on the palate, nearly oily in feel, with brisk acidity to balance and depths of ripe orchard fruits and mineral tones that saturate. The balance is perfect, lightly tannic and full of tension with a lemony concentration that puckers the cheeks as minty herbal tones fade. Green apple notes add a crunchy sensation toward the close. This fantastic rendition of Vorberg will thrive in a cold cellar.

Three More Stunning Values from Cantina di Terlano:

2021 Terlano "Quarz" Sauvignon Blanc

Cellar-Worthy Single-Vineyard Reserve Sauvignon Blanc

95 Points - James Suckling:

A sophisticated sauvignon with a complex and aromatic nose offering notes of glazed citrus and stone fruit with honeysuckle and melon skins. It’s full and structured on the palate with vivid acidity cutting through. Creamy with the texture of a ripe nectarine and a tense mineral finish.

94 Points - Robert Parker's WA:

"The Cantina Terlano 2021 Alto Adige Terlano Sauvignon Quarz is a very exact and precise expression, with tropical tones, crushed stone, tomato leaf and green papaya. There is a hint of sweetness like you might get with candied pineapple or mango ice cream. I have always felt a special connection to this wine. A dusting of pulverized quartz stone appears on the close." - Monica Larner (Apr 2024)
