Tiefenbrunner has been working out of Castel Turmhof in the alpine hamlet of Entiklar since 1848, and this 2022 Pinot Bianco tastes like the address. Pale lemon, white flowers, lemon-lime, a whisper of green apple and pear. There's a creamy little turn on the mid-palate, but the acidity and minerality keep it honest and taut rather than plush. Alto Adige whites don't need oak to have presence.
Tasting Notes
This is an elegant Pinot Bianco with a light medium-lemon color. The wine offers aromas of white flowers, lemon-lime citrus, and hints of green apples and pears. On the palate, the wine's subtle, creamy texture is countered by refreshing acidity and minerality.
