This pristine Pinot Bianco is drawn from a single vineyard called Platt & Riegl at an elevation of 550 metres above sea level in the gravelly, mineral-rich soils of the Appiano Monte. The area is considered to be one of the premier terroirs of the Alto Adige, and this is one of its finest vineyards. Here, in the lee of the snow-capped Mount Mendola, the sun-drenched, rocky soils and the elevation make a considerable contribution to the style of the wine, as do the old vines, hand-harvesting, partial malolactic conversion and partial vinification in large oak (50% in 5,000L cask).
These influences result in a more satin-textured, mineral wine than you typically get from this variety.
