Pinot Blanc

Pinot Blanc, often regarded as the more restrained sibling of the Pinot family, is a white grape variety with roots in France's Burgundy region. Over time, it has flourished notably in the Alsace region of France and in pockets of Italy, where it's known as "Pinot Bianco." In the glass, Pinot Blanc presents a pale, lemony hue, often gleaming with clarity. A sniff reveals a delicate bouquet of green apples, lemon zest, and sometimes a hint of white flowers. On the palate, it is typically light to medium-bodied, with a fresh, crisp acidity that balances its subtle fruitiness. It may also offer nuances of almond or minerality in certain terroirs. Pinot Blanc wines are often praised for their versatility; they can be enjoyed on their own or paired effortlessly with a variety of dishes, from seafood to white meats, making them a cherished choice for many wine enthusiasts.
