More questions
The Pinot Bianco Alto Adige DOC Platt&Riegl - Girlan is born in the heart of the Dolomites, one of the most renowned areas in northern Italy for high-quality viticulture. This wine best expresses the elegant and fresh character of the Pinot Bianco grape, grown in vineyards located on porphyry and limestone soils, which provide minerality and a refined structure. The winemaking involves a fermentation at controlled temperature and aging in stainless steel, preserving aromatic integrity and freshness.
In the glass, it presents a bright straw color, accompanied by delicate aromas of green apple, white flowers, and light citrus notes. The sip is balanced, soft, and fragrant, with a pleasant sapidity that enhances its drinkability. Perfect as an aperitif or paired with fish dishes, white meats, and fresh cheeses, this Pinot Bianco elegantly reflects the enological vocation of Alto Adige.

The story
Founded in 1923 by an initial group of growers who chose an ancient 16th-century farmhouse in Cornaiano, the winery has evolved into a cooperative bringing together about 200 families. The ancient underground cellars and historic buildings coexist with modern facilities: harvesting and winemaking are managed with care for each individual vineyard to highlight local specificities.
Production philosophy
The winery aims to showcase historic local varieties and to interpret international varieties in a way that reflects the local terroir. Sustainability is central: targeted agronomic practices, reduced use of mineral fertilizers, energy-saving measures and the introduction of lighter bottles to reduce emissions.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards are located mainly in the Oltradige and the Bassa Atesina, on morainic and porphyric soils. Some crus and sites mentioned include Gschleier, Plattenriegl, Montiggl and Mazon, known for their diversity of exposure and soil.
Awards and recognition
The winery and individual wines have received national and international recognition: for example, the Trattmann Pinot Noir Riserva has been listed among wines awarded "3 Bicchieri" by Gambero Rosso for consecutive years; the Vigna Ganger Pinot Noir Riserva has received very high scores from Wine Advocate; the Gschleier Alte Reben Vernatsch has been highlighted by Decanter among notable wines.
