The 2012 Alto Adige Pinot Bianco Haberle is the only wine in this tasting not distinguished by the “Tenutae Lageder” brand name. It is also one of my favorite expressions of Pinot Bianco from northern Italy. The aromatic clarity and precision of the wine are both outstanding. Aromas of white peach, pear, honeysuckle, vanilla cream or custard and cantaloupe melon are delineated and bright. The richness of those tones transfers seamlessly to the palate where the wine is fresh but also shows good weight and richness. The wine undergoes sur lie aging for up to six months.
