More questions
The Pinot Blanc from Alto Adige, of a clear and restrained stamp, offers an elegant yet immediate profile: in the glass it opens with aromas of Golden apple and pear, accompanied by floral hints and a subtle citrus peel. The palate is fresh, supported by lively acidity and a pleasant salinity that streamlines the body; the finish is clean, of good persistence, with a slight mineral streak that invites the next sip. It stands out for balance and precision rather than opulence.
Perfect as an aperitif or alongside light seafood dishes, shellfish and butter-based first courses or with grilled vegetables; it also holds up well with soft cheeses and delicate preparations. Serve cold, not ice-cold, to appreciate its aromatic finesse; it is well suited to be drunk young for its freshness, but shows enough substance to remain interesting after a few years in bottle. An excellent everyday table companion.

The first official winemaker joined in the 1990s, and in 1999 ownership passed to the Roner family.

Production is offered across several ranges, from everyday wines to selected bottlings and reserves, with a focus on sustainability and respect for nature.
Terroir and vineyards
