Founded in 1893, the Cantina Terlano winery is now one of the leading winegrower cooperatives in South Tyrol, with a current membership of 143 growers working a total area of 190 hectares. That is the equivalent of some 1.5 million bottles of wine a year. The rocky terroir of volcanic origin is ideal for the production of white wines due to the cold climate as well as the altitude of the vineyards (250m to 900m). They have for long had a strong focus on quality. This has attracted praise and recognition on the Italian and international wine markets, and in spite of its relatively small size, Cantina Terlano is now well established in the world of wine.
Their modern winery produces 30 % red and 70% white wines, all of them of DOC quality (Controlled Designation of Origin). The most important varieties are Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc for white wines and Lagrein and Pinot Noir for reds.
