Sauvignon "Sanct Valentin" Alto Adige DOC 2022

If it is true (as it is) that the mere mention of San Michele Appiano is enough to send the minds of wine lovers and experts flying to wines of unparalleled finesse, the words Sanct Valentin represent an important "upgrade". It is, in fact, the winery's flagship line. The highest expression of the territory and its typical grape varieties, capable of expressing unique and unforgettable wines. The signature is that of the winery's historic oenologist, Hans Terzer, who is considered by many experts to be one of the best in the world. Only the best grapes are used, from the vineyards of the contributing members in the most suitable areas. In particular this Sauvignon, which since 1989 has undoubtedly been considered the winery's most famous white wine. It is the result of individual and selected plots on the slopes at the foot of the Mendola. After all, if it is one of the most awarded white wines in Italy, there must be a reason. In the glass it has a lovely, fresh, yellowish-green colour. The nose has a dense bouquet of yellow fruit, gooseberries, elderflower and ripe currants. On the palate, however, it is a wonderful interplay of balance, between crisp freshness, softness and body. Elegant and full-bodied, this wine can accompany any type of lunch or dinner. From aperitifs to fish dishes, raw or elaborate. Difficult to put it through its paces.
