Alto Adige, Trentino-Alto Adige, Italy
Really good Pinot Bianco (Pinot Blanc). I like Pinot Blanc, but in many instances it’s tiring to drink because its fruit can be a little one-dimensional. Not so with this one. The nose has bright, pure orchard fruit, but leavened by a serious mineral vein. On the palate, it’s full bodied and shows a serious stony side. Bone dry, fairly lengthy finish with a nice whisper of a bitterish note. I really like this.
