Pinot Bianco DOC 2021

Origin

In 1852 the Pinot Blanc was brought to South Tyrol by the Archduke John of Austria and since then it brings excellent results. Many experts consider Alto Adige as one of the best growing areas for Pinot Blanc worldwide.

Vintage

In many respects 2021 was a demanding and challenging wine growing year. The winter months were mainly sunny but very cold. In spring the temperature was slow to rise, and that delayed the vegetative development of the vines. This was only partly compensated by the warm and sunny start to the summer, while the weather in July and August was very varied. The grape harvest accordingly began relatively late, on September 9. The wet September was an organizational problem for our wine growers, but ultimately a very good harvest was completed on October 26.

Tasting notes

– brilliant yellow
– fresh and fruit-dominated nose, with overtones of Golden Delicious apples, pears and quince
