One of the first wine cooperatives in South Tyrol was founded in 1893 in the middle of the Terlano wine-growing region. At that time, 24 winegrowers set themselves the goal of joint production and sales promotion. Today, the Terlan Winery is one of the smaller companies in the country with around 120 members, a cultivation area of 150 hectares and a total annual production of 18,000 hl or 1.4 million bottles. The manageable size contributes significantly to quality assurance. Under the expert control of the oenologist Rudi Kofler, 70% white and 30% red wines mature in the modern winery, all of which have the DOC classification. Terlano wines have stored the peculiarities of climate and soil. In their careful development, great importance is attached to the preservation and emphasis of the area type. The result is unmistakable, very idiosyncratic wines that are characterized by fruit and breed, but also by impressive density and longevity.
