| Climate: | The winter months were mainly sunny but very cold. In spring the temperature was slow to rise, and that delayed the vegetative development of the vines. This was only partly compensated by the warm and sunny start to the summer, while the weather in July and August was very varied. The grape harvest accordingly began relatively late, on September 9. The wet September was an organizational problem for our wine growers, but ultimately a very good harvest was completed on October 26. |

ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
A gregarious and fruit-driven Pinot Bianco made from high elevation vineyards in the heart of Alto Adige. Aged for a mere three months in stainless steel, this high-acid white wine is a crowd-pleaser defined by fruit and floral aromatics.
