In the glass
Aroma: green apple, white peach, almond blossom, fresh herbs

Cantina Andrian's selection Pinot Bianco - the cooperative's flagship white. Predominantly steel-aged with only brief wood contact, showcasing the calcareous-clay soils of Andriano in a fresh, mineral style.

With cheese
Sextner Almkäse
Our pick The Käserei Sexten suggests light, fruity white wines for its Almkäse. A medium-bodied Alto Adige Pinot Bianco with high acidity, raised mostly in steel, is fresh enough for a very soft cheese that runs from mild to spicy.
Toblacher Stangenkäse
Our pick The cheese is mild-sour with a tender, sliceable paste (Sennerei Drei Zinnen). A medium-bodied Alto Adige Pinot Bianco with fresh fruit and high acidity meets that gentle sourness and clears the palate between slices.
History
Cantina Andrian's Andrius is the cooperative's selection-tier Pinot Bianco from calcareous-clay soils around Andriano. Andrian, founded in 1893, refined Lagrein in barrique among Alto Adige cooperatives; the alliance with Cantina Terlano since 2008 has further sharpened the cellar's quality focus.
