Alois

“Straw yellow in colour, the Alois Pallagrello Bianco is a refined, polished wine. At times quite neutral on the nose, but a gentle floral characteristic lingers alongside faint brioche and vanilla, obtained from partial maturation in oak. The palate is rounded, almost creamy, exuding faint notes of banana and peach. Some mandarin in there too. With time in the glass these aromas become more expressive. There is a notable sense of alcohol on the finish. An interesting wine from a potentially very interesting grape variety.”

“This is very exciting for fans of volcanic terroir influenced wines. A lively nose of fresh cherry and violets with some nuanced raspberry and orange peel. Mineral overtones. A very vibrant palate loaded with tart but concentrated forest fruits and prominent acidity sets this up for plenty of years to come. Intriguing wine from an unusual grape variety. Finished with an attractive note of sour cherry.”

“White flowers and peach. Lots of floral and herbal complexity on the nose from scented blossom to wild fennel. Subtle notes of hazelnut juxtapose juicy citrus. The palate is well integrated, showing both depth and freshness. Impressive wine. Very polished. Excited to follow its development.”
