Facing east at an altitude of 200 metres, the vineyard lies at the heart of the San Rocco Seno d’ Elvio hamlet.
Its name “Terabianca” means white earth, and comes from the light colouring of the soil this Merlot is grown on, with its high percentage of calcium carbonate.
The first vintage dates back to 2014 and, since it is a new variety for the company, served several years to find the wine that made out the best characteristics of this variety.
