Although from Alto Adige, this fragrant white is clearly made in a German manner.  This greenish-hued pinot blanc offers green apple on the nose and ripe pear in the mouth. A friend sampling it with me said “nice acidity” upon sipping it and she was right, lots of acidity, long finish and a super food-friendly wine.

Around $19.
