The estate’s 2005 Gewurztraminer Lunare is also very extreme in style. A deeply-colored yellow, it exhibits awesome richness in its creamy texture and exotic ginger, jasmine, spice and ripe fruit notes. It is a superbly-well balanced, opulent wine that will provide much pleasure. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2016. Cantina di Terlano is one of Italy’s top estates, something made all the more remarkable considering it is a cooperative. The entry-level bottlings have been among my favorite house wines for many years. Fermented and aged in stainless steel, they offer much varietal character at reasonable prices. They are also a great introduction for readers who want to learn more about the unique wines of Alto Adige. In addition, the estate produces a set of single-vineyard whites and reds which are reference-point wines for the region. The single-vineyard wines typically spend longer on their lees and are aged partly or wholly in casks. The top-of-the-line selections (in fatter bottles) see a percentage of smaller barrels. The Sauvignon Quarz, Gewurztraminer Lunare and Nova Domus in particular represent some of the most intensely flavored, unique and age-worthy wines to come out of the region.

An evolved aromatic white with deeply saturated color and generous notes of butterscotch, vanilla and distilled flower perfume. It showcases big fruit in the mouth and is a tad heavy or waxy on the palate.——M.L.(12/1/2007)—— 88
