TASTING NOTES
Kettmeir
Pinot Bianco, 2018
The WAC is proud to present
our Tour of Italy Dinner on Friday,
January 28, as a follow-up to last
year's popular Italian wine dinner.
Among the wines to be featured, Kettmeir's Pinot Bianco
offers beautiful floral and green apple notes with a delicate
minerality. This wine is unoaked with crisp acidity and a long
juicy finish.
Founded by Giuseppe Kettmeir on the heels of World
War I, Kettmeir produces its vintages in the Alto Adige, the
country's northern-most winemaking region, located at the
foothills of the Dolomites and Rhaetian Alps.
The varied glacial soils of the area, combined with the
crisp alpine climate and long summer days, provide the ideal
environment for Pinot Bianco, the Italian name for what the
French call Pinot Blanc. The wine pairs well with chicken,
white fish, and other light foods.
Get a taste for yourself at our Tour of Italy Dinner.
