Pino Bianco Schulthauser 375ml 2020 St. Michael Eppan

South Tyrolean Pinot Blanc
Schulthauser 2020

Pinot Blanc, South Tyrol's most important grape variety, has awoken from its slumber and has become the region's flagship wine. Schulthauser is the classic among South
Tyrolean Pinot Blancs; it was first vinified and bottled in 1982. It is not a loud drop, but a consummate, finely fruity-fresh Pinot Blanc, which at the same time seduces with
creamy softness and racy acidity to enjoy.
