The Lagrein Rosato from Cantina Terlano is a product of a winery that has its roots in the late 19th century. The project was born from the courage and cohesion of local winemakers who shared the passion and desire to enhance their territory and its intrinsic characteristics. By breaking away from the hegemony of the large landowners of the time, they were inspired by the example of the Rhine, planting and cultivating typical grape varieties from Germany and France, alongside those already historically present. Today, the winery has more than 140 members and 190 hectares of fully planted land; the goal has always remained to preserve the quality of the final product, thus reaching international markets.
The pure Lagrein grapes of the Lagrein Rosato from Cantina Terlano grow at an altitude between 250 and 280 meters above sea level. The temperatures are made mild by the presence of the southern Prealps that block access to cold air currents coming from the north; important thermal excursions between day and night ensure excellent ripening of the grapes between the rows. Solar radiation is present for a good part of the year, also thanks to the fact that the vineyards are oriented to the south and southwest. The harvest is manual and generally takes place in the first days of September; in the winery, there is a brief maceration on the red grape skins that guarantees the typical rosé color. It ferments in steel and ages for 5-7 months on the lees.
The color of the Lagrein Rosato from Cantina Terlano is an intense salmon pink with shining reflections. On the nose, there are hints of raspberry, strawberry, and currant with notes of sour cherry, violet, and rose at the finish; on the palate, it is elegant and enveloping with a final freshness that balances the structure. It is recommended to pair with dishes based on shellfish and mollusks, raw fish tartare, and sushi; also interesting with fresh cow's milk cheeses. An excellent product to accompany romantic dinners by the sea during the summer or for picnics outdoors,
