Deep, golden-hue in color, the 2020 Terlano “Kreuth” (100% Chardonnay) is a lush, full-bodied example of the variety. Hints of star fruit and bright citrus notes greet the nose, but it’s on the palate where this wine be shinin’ right now. Full-bodied, rich and glorious is the texture, pinned down by an uncanny mineral-driven sense of place. I learned a long time ago that you just can’t write-off ANY of the Chardonnay that comes from the Alto-Adige region of Italy- or ANYWHERE from Italy for that matter. As it breathes it comes into its own, changing with every breath and reinforcing itself on the finish. See simply: do not overlook.

A little fruit up front, but nice backbone, finishing dry. Solid effort.

Stony, citrus, Medium bodied. Some oak influence but nicely integrated. Delicious on a 100 degree day in Napa or hiking the Dolomiti

Darn. So good, with many seductive notes, but just enough TCA to make this unscorable.
