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.

Recommendation: Exclusive aperitif and summer wine, but also a versatile food companion: it tastes good with seafood and fish, as well as with delicate dishes of wild fowl. It is particularly recommended with South Tyrolean Schlutzkrapfen.
