The 2023 Wilhelm Walch Pinot Bianco is a beautifully fresh and elegant white from Alto Adige, crafted by one of northern Italy’s most historic family wineries. Grown in cool alpine vineyards on limestone and porphyry soils, the wine reflects the region’s reputation for producing Pinot Bianco of exceptional purity, freshness and finesse. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve its vibrant fruit and mineral character, it is a classic expression of this distinctive mountain terroir.
The nose reveals aromas of green apple, pear and white peach alongside delicate white flowers, citrus zest and subtle mineral notes. The palate is crisp and beautifully balanced, with lively orchard fruit flavours supported by refreshing acidity and a fine saline mineral edge. Clean, elegant and refreshing, it finishes with excellent precision and lingering citrus freshness.
Ben’s Recommendation:
A wonderfully versatile Alto Adige white that combines freshness, purity and food-friendly appeal. Its bright acidity and mineral character make it an excellent match for oysters, grilled fish, seafood pasta, roast chicken, fresh salads and soft cheeses. Serve well chilled and enjoy now through 2028 while its vibrant fruit and crisp alpine freshness are at their peak.
