Some wines make you understand why humans have been obsessed with fermented grape juice for thousands of years. This is one of those wines. It’s like discovering a secret room in a house you thought you knew completely. Golden apple and white peach float on a cloud of Alpine herbs, while crushed stones and salted lemon keep pulling you back to the glass. Each taste unfolds with the precision of a master watchmaker but feels as natural as breathing. The texture makes you question everything you thought you knew about white wine. If you’re lucky enough to find a bottle, cancel your plans for the evening. This is the kind of wine that deserves your full attention and rewards it generously. Drink Now – 2050. (Editors’ Choice)

Varietal Italian White Blend

Italian white blend wines exemplify the country's rich winemaking heritage, offering a diverse range of styles and flavors. What makes these blends unique is the meticulous interplay of indigenous grape varieties, each contributing distinctive characteristics to the final composition. Grapes like Trebbiano, Garganega, Vermentino, and Malvasia often feature in these blends, creating a harmonious fusion of floral, citrus, and tropical fruit notes. The versatility of Italian white blends is underscored by their regional diversity, from the crisp and mineral-driven whites of Friuli-Venezia Giulia to the fuller-bodied expressions of Sicily. These wines frequently exhibit a balance between acidity and texture, making them suitable for various occasions and culinary pairings. Italian white blends reflect a commitment to tradition while embracing innovation, offering a delightful exploration for wine enthusiasts. Whether enjoyed as a refreshing aperitif or paired with Mediterranean cuisine, these wines showcase Italy's vinous mosaic, inviting enthusiasts to savor the unique tapestry of flavors crafted from the country's indigenous white grape varieties.

Country Italy

There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.

Region Trentino/Alto Adige

As the name suggests, the northern Italian wine region of Trentino-Alto Adige is made up of two separate areas, with Trento in the south, and the Adige river in the north. There are few parts of Italy quite as alluring for wine fans as Trentino-Alto Adige, as this is an area in which Italian wines become really quite unique and surprising. As the region is nestled in the foothills of the Italian Alps, it is quite a long way from the sun drenched islands of the south, or the rolling hillsides of central Italy. Indeed, the wines of Trentino-Alto Adige are packed full of fresh, vibrant alpine flavors and aromas, and are as influenced by the Germanic styles of wine making as they are influenced by those of the Italians, making the wines of this region really quite unusual, and utterly captivating. Wineries in Trentino-Alto Adige use both native and imported grape varietals for their wines, and they are generally considered to be amongst the finest in Italy.

Decanter

While Rarity pushes the envelope for lees ageing, I Primo is a more conventional wine – but no less impressive. A strict selection from vines in Vorberg, vinified in large oak, yields an electric wine full of flinty, floral stone fruit aromas, and zesty, saline mango and lime juice flavours. Long, fresh and with bags of energy, it's an absolute gem of a white.

James Suckling

#82 in Top 100 Wines of Italy, 2025. Restrained wine with still toasty and straw-like aromas, together with an exquisite mix of yellow grapefruit and Mirabelles, balsamic and deep-set cedar. Full-bodied, tight and lightly phenolic, yet balanced by weight and silkiness. More gastronomic than usual and super savory. Drinkable now, but best from 2026.

Wine Advocate

The top-shelf wine from Cantina Terlano is this blend of 62% Pinot Bianco, 35% Chardonnay and 3% Sauvignon Blanc. The 2022 Alto Adige Terlaner Grand Cuvée Primo (with 4,000 bottles released) is brilliant, and I mean that literally and figuratively. The quality of the aromas is enormously fine and lifted with layers of stone fruit, mountain flower, yellow rose, poached pear, pie crust and crushed stone. Fruit is drawn from many small terraces farmed by members of this celebrated co-op winery.

Vinous Media

The 2022 Terlaner Cuvée I Primo is youthfully poised. Coaxing unlocks depths of crushed nectarine and pear under a veil of sweet spice, raw almonds and mint. It opens with a balanced inner sweetness and soothingly round textures as a vertically building mix of crisp orchard fruits, citrus and saline minerals saturates. This leaves the palate buzzing with salty concentration and residual acids while nuances of lemon curd and chamomile fade. Bury the 2022 in the cellar and reap the rewards.

Wine Spectator

Rich flavors of Honeycrisp apple, lemon curd, pickled ginger, raw hazelnut and vanilla wafer are honed by chiseled, fine china–like acidity, an interplay managed with pinpoint integration and balance. This is long and graceful, with real drive through the racy finish of white blossom, chalk, ground ginger and graphite notes. Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Sauvignon. Drink now through 2040. 333 cases made, 80 cases imported.

Winery Notes

Rich and complex on the nose; multifaceted aromas of citrus fruit, white pepper and herbs as well as a delicate smoky note. The wine's elegance and perfect balance are the product of its remarkable structure and subtle texture, which give the wine its unmistakable character. Its extremely long finish is more than pleasant; it leaves its mark in memory as the supreme expression of a mineral terroir that is unique in the world.
