Since the 2020 vintage, Haberle has been called Versalto and is now Demeter-certified. Diversity as a focus: Versalto is characterised by geological, microclimatic and cultural contrasts. Its grapes come, on the one hand, from the Haberlehof in Buchholz on the eastern side of the Etsch Valley and, on the other, from the opposite sites in Penon above Margreid. Both vineyards are located at about 500 metres and ensure optimal conditions for the variety.

"The 2020 Pinot Bianco Versalto keeps me coming back to the glass with its spicy bouquet of hot peppers and curry leaves, offset by cooling notes of cracked slate and freshly sliced Granny Smith apples. This is round and soothing, with a core of salty minerals and tart orchard fruits that balance the expression quite well. The interplay of sweet and sour really excites the senses, as this tapers off long with lemony concentration. This zesty Pinot Bianco is packed full of energetic tension. The fruit for the Versalto comes from opposite sides of the Val d'Adige valley, from vineyards which both average around 500 meters." Vinous

The textures are smooth and soothing, yet this remains feminine and lifted throughout, leaning more on salty, savory characteristics than fruit. The 2019 Pinot Bianco tapers off crisp, clean and wonderfully fresh." Vinous

It's silky and expansive, yet there's a reverberation of zesty acids and salty minerals that maintain perfect balance. Inner florals and a twang of cheek-puckering lime linger, yet there's also a good amount of structure here. Give this another year or two, and then watch it blossom." Vinous
