Pinot Blanc, Italy
From a genetic point of view, DNA analyzes confirmed that pinot blanc, pinot noir and pinot gris are not three different grape varieties, but three different clones of the same variety. The presence of biotypes that have differentiated over time as a result of spontaneous mutations is not surprising, since pinot is one of the oldest grape varieties ever. In fact, it is probably a grape that was domesticated in ancient times in the central-eastern area of France and which still today has its cradle of choice in Burgundy.
Pinot Blanc in Italy is grown almost exclusively in the Triveneto, particularly in Alto Adige, where it finds the perfect habitat at altitudes that vary, depending on the exposure, between 500 and 800 meters.
It produces delicate wines, of great expressive finesse, with pleasant notes of white fruit. The sip is harmonious and of great balance. It is a white ductile in combinations and of great longevity.
