2023 Elena Walch Pinot Bianco "Kristallberg", Alto Adige, Italy

ABOUT THIS WINE

“Kristallberg” is sourced from Elena Walch’s high-altitude Pinot Bianco vineyards in Alto Adige, where cool mountain temperatures and dramatic diurnal shifts help preserve freshness and aromatic precision. The name reflects the crystalline quality of the site and the wine’s focused mineral character. Fermented and aged with careful attention to preserving the grape’s natural purity, the wine combines bright orchard fruit with elegant texture and Alpine freshness. The 2023 vintage highlights the balance, finesse, and distinctive mountain character of Pinot Bianco from Alto Adige.
