Elena Walch’s 2025 Pinot Bianco expresses the interplay between Alto Adige’s cool high-altitude vineyards and its milder slopes. Made entirely from Pinot Bianco, the hand-harvested grapes come from steep vineyards with limestone and porphyry soils.

Mountain freshness with a rounded palate

Vineyard sites range from warmer locations around 250 metres to cooler slopes reaching 900 metres. After a warm June, the cooler weather in July 2025 helped preserve the grapes’ acidity. Bright straw yellow in the glass, the wine offers fresh apple and subtle herbal aromas, mineral depth and an appealing balance of fullness and freshness.

Stainless steel and fine-lees ageing

Following gentle pressing and static clarification, the must ferments in stainless steel at 20°C. The wine then spends several months on its lees in stainless-steel tanks, developing texture while retaining its vivid character.

Food pairing

Serve at 12–14°C as an aperitif or alongside pasta, fish and poultry. The winery indicates an ageing potential of approximately 3–5 years.
