Anyone who underestimates Pinot Bianco simply hasn't drunk a good one. The variety loves windy locations, poor marl soils and cool nights – all characteristics that the Collio Goriziano offers in abundance. Schiopetto cultivates it on the Ponca slopes of Capriva, where small, compact grapes ripen with golden-coloured berries that need no support in the cellar. A special feature of the vinification process: the wine is fermented with Pied de Cuve – a proprietary yeast from our own vineyards. This keeps the fermentation authentic and the flavour close to the origin. Steel, eight months on the fine lees, no intervention.

Pale straw yellow in colour. Ripe citrus fruits, pear, apricot, creamy notes, delicate blossoms on the nose – fresh and luscious at the same time. Full-bodied on the palate, with lively acidity, a salty, mineral flavour and a pleasantly long, sensual finish. One of the silent heroes of the Collio. SUPERIORE.DE

"The 2024 Pinot Bianco is sweetly scented yet understated in the glass, mixing chamomile with nuances of spice and crushed apples. It is soothingly round and built on purity, with juicy acidity elevating its mineral-laced orchard fruits. Medium in length yet impactful, it leaves a saline concentration to linger along with a hint of mint." Vinous

"A precisely crafted, elegant white, beautifully balanced, showcasing ripe stone fruit, quince, wildflowers and a hint of beeswax. Medium-bodied and textured, with an elegant line of acidity and a savory, lingering finish. Firm and vertical." James Suckling
