2020 St. Michael-Eppan - Pinot Bianco Schulthauser
2020 Pinot Bianco Schulthauser — St. Michael-Eppan
From the Schulthauser vineyard within the St. Michael-Eppan estate, the 2020 Pinot Bianco Schulthauser delivers cool-climate finesse with bright fruit and precise mineral character that defines Alto Adige’s signature white wines.
Tasting Notes
- Appearance: Pale straw with subtle green reflections.
- Aroma: Crisp pear, green apple, lemon zest, and delicate white blossoms, accented by a refined mineral edge.
- Palate: Dry, light- to medium-bodied, with lively acidity; flavors of citrus rind, pear, and white peach, supported by a mineral backbone and a clean, lingering finish.
- Finish: Refreshing and precise, with a touch of almond-like nuance from the slate-inspired terroir.
Winemaking & Terroir
Grown on the cool-climate Schulthauser site, this Pinot Bianco reflects Alto Adige’s limestone- and slate-influenced soils. Fermented in stainless steel to preserve purity of fruit and mineral notes, the wine remains bright and food-friendly as it opens in the glass.
Food Pairings
- Grilled seafood (sea bass, scallops, or halibut) with fresh herbs
- Shellfish salads and light seafood dishes
- Herbed risotti, particularly with lemon or asparagus
- White bean or goat cheese-tinished dishes and delicate poultry
Why Pinot Bianco Schulthauser Stands Out
The Schulthauser vineyard yields a Pinot Bianco with heightened acidity and mineral clarity that lets bright citrus and orchard fruit shine. This wine offers a versatile, terroir-driven alternative to broader Pinot Bianco styles, making it an ideal choice for warm-weather lunches, seafood-centric menus, and refined aperitifs.
