Northern Italy is one of the best sites in the world for high quality Pinot Bianco. Also known as Pinot Blanc and Weissburgunder, Pinot Bianco is often a pleasurable, easy-to-drink white wine. It is a special treat when it achieves this degree of depth and complexity. The Terra Alpina brand is made by the Lageder family, one of the best regional producers. It is a delicious, multilayered, elegant and dry rendition of the grape. The bouquet is rich with Meyer lemon, apple, pear, and peach fruit scents interwoven with floral and spice tones. The layers of luscious peach, citrus and tropical fruit flavors unfold across the palate followed by subtleties of spice and a minerally-clean, dry finish.
