Description

• Most people's first Pinot Blanc comes from Alsace, where the grape makes pleasant enough wines but is rarely taken seriously. In the Alto Adige the variety is taken very seriously, making minerally, savory whites that I love to drink with food. E+N's classic Weissburgunder is an very good example, showing aromas and flavors of Granny Smith and wet stones, with hints of citrus and herbs. Not as showy as the more aromatic varieties like Sauvignon or Muller-Thurgau, but very useful wine at the table. Do not judge the wine by its price, which is silly. The soil is a limestone-rich glacial deposit.
