Pinot Bianco: one of the many mutations from Pinot Noir. This varietals was introduced to northern Italy as Weissburgunder (you will still see this translation on a lot of Pinot Bianco in Alto Adige) in the mid 19th century when Austria had power. This grape is kind of all over the place in terms of how it is going to taste, honestly it kind of has a mind of it’s own and you can open up one bottle and get rich minerality, citrus fruits, something super clean. Then you can go to another bottle and get something fat, rich, tropical, and maybe think there might be some residual sugar but there is not. It is a wine that you can age for 3 to 5 years and it will be really beautiful and interesting.
