The 2007 Terlaner Classico (60% Pinot Bianco, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Sauvignon Blanc) is made in a more linear, taut style than some of the other wines in this range. Medium in body, it reveals notable definition and elegance in its perfumed, ripe fruit. As good as this blend is, I usually prefer the single-variety wines which offer greater expressiveness. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2010. Cantina di Terlano is one of my favorite sources for value-priced wines in Alto Adige. The winery was founded over 100 years ago. Like many estates in the region, Terlano is a cooperative, yet the wines are first-class in every sense of the term. Importer: Banville & Jones Wine Merchants, New York, NY; tel. (204) 294-4899
