93 points Monica Larner (Wine Advocate): "Here's a wine to stock in you fridge for easy access when needed. The Cantina Terlano 2021 Alto Adige Weissburgunder Pinot Bianco Tradition delivers a clean and exceptional reason for us to believe in this grape when planted in this mountainous environment. The wine is redolent of lemon mousse and peach, and there is plenty of salty mineral as well. The mouthfeel is semi-rich with a polished and creamy finish. I could drink this every day. Drink: 2022-2026. (Dec 2022)"
92 points James Suckling: "An excellent dry pinot blanc that marries invigorating freshness with a fascinating snow-pea and fine green-bean character. You barely feel them directly, but a touch of positive tannin really helps to harmonize this at the very straight and crisp finish. Drink or hold. (7/6/22)"
90 points Wine Spectator: "A bright, snappy white, featuring generous flavors of ripe kiwifruit and melon, with notes of chalk and stone, backed by accents of tangerine peel, jasmine and ground ginger. Drink now. (11/15/22)"
Producer notes: "Color: clear pale yellow with a slight greenish shimmer. Smell: On the nose this classic Pinot Bianco scores with crisp notes of apple and pear mingling with aromas of raspberry and lime, plus a touch of camomile and lemon grass to round off the composition. Taste: Body and balance sum up the Pinot Bianco, which intrigues the palate with the fruit of the pear and quince aromas combined with a salty minerality. The wine tickles the tongue and goes on to deliver a persistent aftertaste. Food Pairing: A good companion with hors d’oeuvres such as salmon and tuna carpaccio; courgette flowers with a stracchino cheese or in combination with burrata; avocado salad; regional dishes like spinach spaetzle or schlutzkrapfen; also in combination with spaghetti alla carbonara; scallops au gratin, and grilled scampi, dentex or sea bream. Alcohol 13.5%."
