Pinot Bianco ‘Vial’ 2016 91+ Pts. The Wine Advocate
“Fresh apple and pear lift from the bouquet of the 2016 Alto Adige Pinot Bianco Vial. Those bright primary aromas shift and evolve to reveal crushed mineral, oyster shell and other elegant mineral tones. Italian Pinot Bianco possesses that characteristic tightness of texture that bodes well for the future aging ability of this linear and straight-shooting wine. It ages mostly in stainless steel, with just 20% that goes into large oak casks. This is a great value in an Italian white wine.” M.L. 7/31/2017

“Kellerei Kaltern (Caldaro) does an excellent job with Pinot Bianco. This excellent value wine opens to bright fruit flavors and great mineral definition. The 2015 Alto Adige Pinot Bianco Vial is executed in stainless steel, although 10% of the wine sees aging in large oak casks. The wine is tonic and bright with an impressive charge of fresh fruit and white peach.” M.L. 7/1/2016

“Crushed rock, orchard fruit and a dash of oak emerge on this linear white. On the palate, crisp acidity supports Anjou pear, yellow apple and almond while a mineral note backs up the finish.” 4/1/2016

“This bright and easy white shows lots of apple pie and floral character. It’s full to medium body with bright acidity and a long fruity after taste. Drink now” J.S. 7/1/2014
Pinot Bianco ‘Vial’ 2012 90 Pts. Robert Parker
“The 2012 Alto Adige Pinot Bianco Vial is a good value wine that shows varietal aromas of dried straw, white peach and Golden Delicious apple. Along the way, the bouquet reveals little floral details and bright spots of chopped mint or herb. This is not a hugely important or sophisticated white wine but boy does it hit all the rights marks.” 8/31/2014

“If you love Pinot Bianco, you will be delighted by this pretty expression from the mountainous north of Italy. Alpine breezes have shaped a balanced and mildly fragrant white with layers of exotic fruit, pineapple, pear and melon. It shows nice structure and length as well.” M.L. 6/1/2013

Pinot Bianco ‘Vial’ 2009 91 Pts. Wine & Spirits “Buying Guide”
“Scents of lime zest and an intriguingly spicy perfume build power as they develop in the glass. It’s cool in the middle before the tale-like feel of the acidity kicks in to warm up the finish. Grapey for now, this may become more complex in another six months in bottle.” 12/1/2012
