A delicious Italian white wine from the premier estate in Alto Adige/Sudtirol. Lageder, whose approach to winemaking is almost Zen-like, offers wine in several distinct “classes”; Classic, which includes wine from the traditionally grown grapes of Alto Adige/Sudtirol; Single Vineyard, which make use of grapes from select, individual vineyards that are separately vinified; and Single Estate, which are the flagship wines of Alois Lageder made from grapes grown in exceptional locales and exposures that are matured in French oak barriques. Their Haberle Pinot Bianco hails from their Single Vineyard class. Brilliant straw-yellow in color. Very fine, apple/peach nose combined with a well integrated oak spice (the wine is fermented and aged for 3 months in stainless and then matured for 6 months in large slavonian oak casks). A clean, elegant, and fresh wine. I enjoyed this wine with Bucatini alla Gricia.
