About the producer

Alois Lageder is a family estate in the Alto Adige region, known for precise, elegant white wines made with minimal intervention in the cellar.

About the year

2019 was a warm, dry vintage across northern Italy that produced ripe, balanced wines with good acidity.

Grape characteristics

Pinot Bianco is a white mutation of Pinot Noir that thrives in cool mountain vineyards. It makes wines that are lean and mineral-driven, with bright acidity and subtle stone fruit flavours.

About the region

Trentino sits in the foothills of the Alps where cool nights and mountain breezes preserve the acidity in white wines, creating fresh, food-friendly styles.

Tasting profile

Expect green apple, lemon zest and a hint of white peach, with a clean, refreshing finish. The wine is dry and straightforward, without heavy oak or sweetness.

Serving suggestions

Serve well chilled at around 8 to 10 degrees Celsius in a standard white wine glass. No decanting needed.

Also pairs well with

  • • grilled white fish
  • • risotto with mushrooms
  • • roasted chicken
  • • fresh pasta with herbs
  • • soft cheeses
