Weissburgunder (Pinot Bianco) Riserva Renaissance

Wines

From the oldest, steepest terraces beneath Presule Castle, Markus Prackwieser elevates Weissburgunder — Pinot Bianco — to heights few believed possible. Raised slowly on its lees and released only when ready, “Renaissance” trades the variety’s easy charm for real profundity: ripe orchard fruit, white flowers, and hazelnut deepening into honeyed stone, smoke, and cool Dolomite minerality. Rich yet chiseled, expansive yet weightless, it flows to a satisfyingly long, mountain saline finish.
