Pinot Bianco: It probably originates from genetic mutation of either Pinot Nero or Pinot Grigio and it is one of the vine varieties of French origin cultivated all over the world.
It grows very fast and that allows it to be cultivated in regions considered to be “extreme” like Germany.
From the vinification process it is obtained a delicate yet full-bodied wine with a good level of acidity. It can also become sparkling wine.
