This wine is still going strong. A crazy good value. Interesting, layered components and refreshing 13.5% abv. My prior tasting notes still applies:
“A new addition to my short list of favorite everyday white wines, this blend of 60% Pinot Bianco, 30% Chardonnay and 10% Sauvignon Blanc grapes has refreshing tropical fruit notes of just ripening pineapple and lime zest and maybe some fresh apricot, with the warmth and roundness from the Chardonnay and zippy acidic finish typical of a Sauvignon Blanc. A great value and interesting wine for the jaded palette (few will guess the origin or the blend).”

Light, sunshiney, with a bit of sweetness. Bright, medium weight. A pretty wine, simple, but full of class. Very good and well priced. A little strange note on the finish keeps it from a higher score, but I'd buy this again. Would be a great match with a meaty white fish, pesto, or a tomato garlic sauce.

Last bottle of the 2012 vintage (I will taste the 2013 vintage soon) and a lovely balanced wine in which the chardonnay gives the 'elegance', the pinot blanc the 'rondeur' and the sauvignon the 'fraicheur'. I like the mixed cépages from Alto Adige and I like this wine particularly; un vino molto buono!

Helping a friend with a north-east Italian Wine List; 4/3/2014-4/10/2014 (TBD): Light gold in color. The nose is big with floral notes and a slight vanilla quality. Also minerals. A hint of sweetness on the rich palate. Nice mouth feel. Minerals and lemons. A blend of Pino Bianco (60), Chardonnay (30) and Sauvignon Blanc (10).
