Pinot Bianco BERG

The wine is produced with the grapes sourced exclusively from the “cru” area “Eppan Berg”, the most typical and historical area in Alto Adige for the Pinot Bianco grapes. The result is an elegant fruity Pinot Bianco with a mineral characteristic.
 
Tasting notes: Of a bright straw-yellow colour with green nuances, it has an elegant, complex bouquet reminiscent of crisp apples, pears and honeydew melon. On the palate, it has a prominent acidity, well balanced with the smooth lingering minerality and a long finish.
 
Cellaring potential: 5-10 years.
 
Food Combination: Perfect with seafood appetizers, including crudo, delicate pasta and risotto dishes, and sophisticated fish or shellfish dishes; perfect also with poultry. Serve lightly chilled: 10-12° C.
 
Grape Variety: Pinot Bianco 100% sourced from vines up to 40 years of age.
 
Location: The vineyard is located in “Eppan Berg”, the most renowned historical site in Alto Adige for Pinot Blanc grapes, at the feet of the Mendola mountain, at an elevation of 450-500 m a.s.l. The soil is of morainal origin, built with layers of limestone, on clayey and sandy loam.
