Showing a slightly heavier gait compared to the more brilliant and buoyant 2016 edition, the 2017 Alto Adige Terlano Pinot Bianco Eichhorn reflects the heat and the richness of the vintage. The Pinot Bianco grape always plays its best cards in the mouth, offering ample volume and subtle creaminess even when the most straightforward winemaking techniques are implemented. This more sophisticated oak-fermented approach (especially in this dry and hot vintage) tends to push that creaminess and natural concentration even further. This is a mid-weight wine to pair with roast chicken or tuna seared with sesame seeds. Some 15,000 bottles were made.
