In the vineyard, red porphyry rocks with high
mineral content retain the day's warmth,
while the porous soil creates an
environment with just enough moisture for
the roots to extend deeper into this
mineral-rich soil. In combination with cool
evening temperatures, these factors create
wines of incredible depth and potential for
aging. Terlano produces 70 percent white
wines and 30 percent red wines, all of them
of DOC quality designation. The wines are
classified in four distinct quality lines:
Tradition, Selection, Rarity and Primo.
