With fruit from high elevation vineyards, the Cantina Tramin 2021 Alto Adige Pinot Bianco Moriz is a tight and linear wine with extreme focus on white fruit, pear and wild mountain flower. Those aromas are backed by a fresh sense of dryness and minerality that gives this wine enormous appeal with any vegetarian dish or the exotic food favors of Thailand or Southeast Asia. Production is 65,000 bottles, and the wine sees a simple aging of five months in stainless steel. This is a terrific bargain. ML Dec 2021.

Plenty of crisp pear and ripe-apple
fruit that’s lifted by notes of green
beans and lime, this is a juicy, crisp
and expressive pinot bianco with
immediate appeal, but also some
depth and an interesting grapefruit-
pith note in the bold, zesty finish.
