The V Years Pinot Bianco Alto Adige Gran Riserva DOC 2013 from Cantina Merano is a fine and elegant white wine. A refined meditation wine whose grapes come from a single vineyard located beneath Castle Tyrol.
The creation of this reserve wine requires particular care and great attention to detail. The prerequisites are the use of the best clones, careful yield control, and meticulous manual work. After the careful pressing of whole grapes with natural sedimentation, this masterpiece is allowed to rest on fine lees for one year in oak barrels and for another four years in steel. Only after more than five years (as the name also recalls) is this extraordinary reserve wine ready for bottling.
