Monica Larner - Wine Advocate
This is a highly versatile wine both in terms of its approachable drinking style and its affordable price tag. The Alois Lageder 2022 Pinot Bianco Versalto shows crisp aromas of unripe pear and orchard-fresh apple. The primary fruit is followed by tea biscuit and macadamia nut. Versalto reveals a very crisp and direct personality, thanks to lees aging in stainless steel and oak barrel (for nine months). This 20,000-bottle release definitely showcases that luminous and crisp Dolomitic quality that you want to see in an Alto Adige white.

James Suckling
A restrained and minerally wine. Aromas of slate, stones and candied lemons. The attack is soft and smooth, with refreshing, slightly tingling acidity and a light body. It’s simple yet clean in the finish. From organically grown grapes. Drink now.
Decanter World Wine Awards
Generous nose of white stone fruit, melon and guava; palate of apple, nectarine, apricot, mango and a hint of flower.
