"We were looking for a perfect synthesis, an expression of the purest soul of Cantina Terlano. A wine that fully represents our centuries-old tradition, that brings together the excellence of our best grape varieties and the most prized crus. Our search has achieved its goal: Terlaner I Grande Cuvée." Rudi Kofler

Food pairings
Traditionally, the Terlaner blend pairs perfectly with Terlano wine soup, but it also pairs very well with raw white asparagus salads, or with typical Italian dishes such as pizza or pasta with tomato sauce, rosemary focaccia or penne all'arrabbiata, parmesan cheese and fresh pecorino. It also pairs well with classic South Tyrolean recipes, such as speck dumplings or sausage with sauerkraut, turkey breast with root vegetables or a delicate roast veal.
