Dellago comes from Pinot Bianco parcels personally selected by cellar master Stephan Filippi on characteristic porphyry and limestone soils, where Archduke Johann of Austria established Pinot Blanc in South Tyrol as early as 1850. The special terroir with its distinctive temperature fluctuations between warm days and cool nights gives the hand-picked grapes the mineral precision that characterises Dellago. After careful manual harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed and vinified in two parts: The majority matures traditionally in stainless steel tanks on the fine lees, while a small but decisive proportion undergoes alcoholic fermentation and malolactic fermentation in French barriques – a subtle use of wood gives the wine additional structure and complexity without overpowering its Burgundian elegance.

Brilliant straw yellow with greenish reflections, the bouquet reveals a multi-layered bouquet of Golden Delicious apples, ripe pears and white peaches, interwoven with fine mineral nuances of volcanic porphyry. The palate reveals powerful elegance with a creamy texture, lively acidity and a lingering, mineral final. A Pinot Blanc with an authentic South Tyrolean character that masterfully combines tradition and modern cellar technology. SUPERIORE.DE

"Pale straw yellow with green reflections. The nose is characterised by white bread crust, white lilac, followed by green pear. On the palate, soft melting with juicy acidity, light pressure and a subtle final." Falstaff
