In the glass
Aroma: green apple, white peach, almond blossom, fresh herbs
Palate: stone fruit, saline minerality, fresh acidity, clean mineral finish
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.
What it pairs with
-
Pan-seared trout with herbs
The wine's fresh herb register and saline minerality match alpine trout; medium body suits delicate fish. -
Asparagus risotto
Almond blossom and stone fruit meet asparagus; saline mineral spine balances the dish. -
Speck and rye bread
Tyrolean charcuterie classic; the wine's freshness slices through cured pork fat.
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.
