Pinot Bianco DOC 2024

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

After a rainy spring and a sluggish start to summer, August brought the long-awaited turnaround: Sunny and warm days encouraged the ripening of the grapes and allowed early varieties to reach very good quality. Harvest began at the end of August under nearly perfect conditions, accompanied by stable weather lasting into September. With the onset of autumn rains, the harvest of late-ripening red wines became more challenging due to demanding weather conditions. Nevertheless, the vintage produced exciting white wines and early-ripening red wines of remarkable quality.
