Cantina Terlan
Vorberg Riserva Terlano Pinot Bianco
Terlano, Alto Adige, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
See 2 previous notes on this excellent wine. Honeysuckle and ripe pear - low acid. Unctuous is the texture. Pinot Bianco appears to be underrated and probably doesn’t get much better than this. If Pinot Bianco (PB) was always like this, everyone would be growing PB.

Sep 24th, 2023Now that daughter Georgie is home from Copenhagen for a short stint I am working through my aromatic whites from Europe and my small supply of natural and skin contact wines - neither of which the Vorberg is. However, it is the best Pinot Bianco I have tried. Ripe and peachy with an unctuous full bodied low acid texture. Ready to drink. Bottom line- Delicious. Had another bottle 48 weeks later on 14th January 2023. Quite unctuous - Barb said syrupy. Italian whites can be under rated IMO. I had a glass of Timorasso at Enoteca Restaurant in Brisbane yesterday - just delicious. This Pinot Bianco was different - we both loved it.

Wow, what a surprise of a wine. One of my favorite Italian whites in years. Bold and substantial.

This is remarkable achievement from this co-op. Year in year out a flat out delicious white that translates the charscteristics a first class Pinot Bianco can achieve.
