Pinot Bianco DOC 2023

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

The 2023 winegrowing year was characterized by changeable weather and the resulting increased work in the vineyard. A snow-deficient winter and a warm March accelerated the start of vegetation. A typical April and a rainy May led to flowering close to the long-term average. June was unstable, with heat waves and drought. July brought a lot of rain coupled with some very hot days. Despite extreme temperature fluctuations in August, a golden autumn brought us a successful grape harvest with very good grape qualities overall.

Tasting notes
