In a few words: Joe says, "I'm flabbergasted by the quality and value of this wine. A true Truffle Dog Discovery!"
Site: From 400-600 m high vineyards on the western side of the Adige Valley (morning sun). Porphyry, sand and gravel.
Grapes: 100% Pinot Bianco
Fermentation and Aging: Temperature controlled stainless steel until spring of the year following the vintage.
Notes: Weissburgunder is the German name for Pinot Bianco. We think the quality of the regular Pinot Bianco comes rather close to that of its famous cousin, Santa Magdalena’s prize-winning Dellago. Signature balance, with tremendous varietal character and long finish. Perfect as an aperitif, paired with asparagus or mussels, fish or vegetarian dishes.
