Pinot Bianco reveals its aristocratic side at the high altitude of Zuc di Volpe. The privileged single vineyard site near Togliano offers ideal conditions for this elegant grape variety: cool nights, calcareous soils and excellent aeration, which enables slow, balanced ripening. Maturation in stainless steel tanks with an extended maturation period on the fine lees preserves the clear fruit and at the same time lends depth and structure. The nose reveals aromas of white peach, pear and a hint of camomile, underpinned by a fine nutty note. Finely crafted and precise on the palate, with a creamy texture, firm minerality and a long, balanced finish.

This Pinot Bianco is a stylistically clear, yet multi-layered white wine with calm elegance and long-lasting potential. It epitomises the sophisticated, unagitated self-image of Volpe Pasini – and the great class of the Colli Orientali terroir. SUPERIORE.DE

"Ripe apples, pears and white nectarines with dried flowers, hints of almond shell and spices. It’s very complete and mouth-filing with medium body and creamy texture. Delicious stone fruit character. Fresh, flavorful finish. Very polished." James Suckling

"The 2022 Pinot Bianco Zuc di Volpe is youthfully coy, wafting up with a subtle blend of nectarines, lemon oil and spring flowers. This is texturally deep, silken and round. A zesty citrus and acidic core propels its ripe orchard fruits across the palate. A minerality stains as the 2022 finishes full of tension and lightly structured, leaving a spicy tinge of tangerine and ginger to resonate. The 2022 holds its power in reserve and has the balance for a long and remarkable evolution." Vinous
