Pinot blanc 2023 Schulthauser ST.MICHAEL 750ml

South Tyrol DOC
Pinot Blanc
Schulthauser

Pinot Blanc has been cultivated in its second home, South Tyrol, since 1850 and has been one of the most important wines of our winery ever since. Schulthauser was first
bottled in 1982 and has since become one of South Tyrol's best-known Pinot Blancs. It is a harmonious, fresh wine with fruity notes that seduces the palate with its
creaminess and distinctive acidity.
