Clear pale yellow with a slight greenish shimmer. On the nose this classic Pinot Bianco scores with crisp notes of apple and pear mingling with aromas of raspberry and lime, plus a touch of camomile and lemon grass to round off the composition. Body and balance sum up the Pinot Bianco, which intrigues the palate with the fruit of the pear and quince aromas combined with a salty minerality. The wine tickles the tongue and goes on to deliver a persistent aftertaste.
A good companion with hors d'oeuvres such as salmon and tuna carpaccio; courgette flowers with a stracchino cheese or in combination with burrata; avocado salad; regional dishes like spinach spaetzle or schlutzkrapfen; also in combination with spaghetti alla carbonara; scallops au gratin, and grilled scampi, dentex or sea bream.

The 2021 Pinot Bianco is delicate and understated in the glass, with spring flowers, flint and hints of wet stone forming its bouquet. It flows across the palate with silky textures and medium-bodied weight while delivering a savory mix of orchard fruits and nuances of green citrus. A bitter hint remains as residual acids keep the mouth watering through the saline-tinged finale.
