👁 In the Glass:
Bright straw yellow with greenish highlights—fresh, luminous, and refined.

👃 On the Nose:
Delicate yet layered aromas of white flowers, golden apple, pear, and citrus zest mingle with hints of almond, wet stone, and a gentle touch of vanilla from subtle oak ageing.

👅 On the Palate:
Elegant and medium-bodied, with a silky mouthfeel balanced by vibrant acidity. Ripe orchard fruits and citrus unfold over a mineral backbone, with a light creaminess from lees aging. The finish is long, pure, and refreshingly savoury.

🍽 Food Pairing:
Perfect with grilled trout, vegetable terrines, risotto primavera, or alpine cheeses. Its finesse and acidity also make it a great match for light poultry or creamy pasta dishes.

⏳ Ageing Potential:
Beautifully drinkable now, but will evolve gracefully over the next 4–6 years, developing deeper complexity and nutty richness.

✨ Why You’ll Love It:
Franz Haas’ ‘Lepus’ Pinot Bianco is a benchmark for the variety—fresh and aromatic with impeccable balance and subtle mountain elegance. A wine of quiet sophistication, it’s ideal for those who appreciate purity, precision, and the cool-climate charm of northern Italy in their whites.
