History
Pinot Bianco has been grown in the Euganean Hills for over a century. Vignalta produces it as a single-varietal expression from volcanic parcels, emphasising the mineral character the basalt soils impart. It serves as the estate's dry white counterpart to the aromatic Fior d'Arancio and the full-bodied Gemola red.
- 1983Vignalta first releases a single-varietal Pinot Bianco from volcanic Colli Euganei parcels.
