Collection: Pinot Bianco

Pinot Bianco is a white grape that, with us, is first and foremost at home in Northern Italy. Our entire selection comes from Italy, and more specifically from Lombardiet, which lies in the northern part of the country. That gives you a focused starting point if you want to get to know the grape, rather than spreading yourself across many different styles all at once.

The grape is also called Pinot Blanc in other wine countries, but here you meet it in its Italian form. Pinot Bianco is known for being understated and finely built rather than loud, and that is precisely why it fits so well into a northern climate like Lombardiet's, where cooler conditions help keep the freshness in the wine.

If you want an impression of what Pinot Bianco can do, then a bottle from Lombardiet is a good place to begin. The region is perhaps best known for its mousserende vine, but it also holds a broad field of still white wines, and Pinot Bianco is among the grapes that thrive here. You get a wine with roots in a particular area, where the grape has been allowed to show its northern, restrained side.

Because we currently carry Pinot Bianco from precisely this one corner of Italy, it is worth seeing it as a small but characterful part of the Italian-oriented selection. If you are curious about grapes from northern Italy and like the idea of a white wine with a clear origin, then Pinot Bianco from Lombardiet is an obvious choice to explore. And should you already be fond of Italian white wines, this grape can be a fine way to broaden your horizon without letting go of the Northern Italian expression you appreciate.
