With a lean appearance and light consistency, the 2018 Alto Adige Pinot Noir Tradition (with 35,000 bottles made) is sprightly and fresh, with bright notes of forest berries. It's a very tonic and fresh expression that wraps up with touches of violets and mint on the close. This is an easy-drinking red for pasta with pigeon sauce.

Streamlined, elegant and direct, the 2017 Alto Adige Pinot Noir Tradition is a perfect drinking companion to roast chicken or game hen. For sure, you can feel the heat of the vintage in the pronounced aromas of blueberry, raspberry and wild cherry. This wine is smooth and silky in terms of mouthfeel. Some 60,000 bottles were made.

The 2010 Pinot Nero bursts from the glass with juicy, perfumed red cherries, flowers and licorice. There are no hard edges in this pliant, expressive entry-level Pinot. I would prefer to drink the 2010 over the next 2-3 years, while the fruit remains vibrant. This is quite elegant from a textural standpoint, especially within its price range. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016. These new releases from Cantina di Terlano are impressive. As much as I admire the top wines, I simply adore the entry-level bottlings for their unbeatable combination of quality, value and regional/varietal typicity.

The 2005 Pinot Nero offers focused candied cherry fruit on a medium-bodied frame with excellent length and a very attractive, almost weightless texture. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2012. 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.
