St. Michael-Eppan

A high-quality must is obtained from our best Pinot Noir grapes using the Saignée method, which is then fermented and aged in tonneau. After 12 months, our Pinot Noir Rosé The Wine Collection matures for another year on the lees in stainless-steel tank.

Our Passito process of drying the grapes in the open air of the vineyard ensures a late harvest with the grapes remaining on the vine until the end of the year. Since 1989, the elegant Passito Comtess has been cherished for its intense fruit,its honey notes, and its soft and creamy body. The palate is awakened by a note of freshness given by a pronounced acidity.

Every year, Appius is a declaration of love for the work in the vineyard and cellar, a commitment to continuity. 2021 was a challenging year that demanded patience, sensitivity and foresight, qualities that have always characterized the art of winemaking in St. Michael-Eppan. The result is a great wine that embodies balance and depth, light and time. Appius 2021 is the perfect reflection of its origins: the mountains, the light, the thin air. A cuvée of rare intensity and grace that once again expresses the winery’s most precious soul.

Pinot blanc has formed part of the premium Sanct Valentin line since 2001. Minimum yield from carefully selected vineyards speak to the fact that a lively, powerful top wine is pressed from the long underrated grape. Aged in wood, it is captivating as a result of its power and richness on the one hand, and because of its clarity and mineral finesse on the other. Its longevity is a compliment to its extraordinary quality.

The popular grape variety is familiar to people all around the globe. However, in the municipality of Eppan’s top selected vineyards, the grapes develop in such an excellent way that they produce a high-quality and vigorous yet elegant premium wine. Chardonnay has formed part of the Sanct Valentin line since 1986, and is one of the winery’s most important wines. Excellent balance, well-integrated acidity and excellent aging potential.

Sanct Valentin Pinot Grigio was born back in 1986. The first grape selections were carried out in selected vineyards in Eppan/Berg, and a Pinot gris was vinified in small wooden barrels for the first time. With smoothly integrated acidity, power and fullness, the expressive Sanct Valentin Pinot Grigio has been well received for decades. It is one of Italy’s most-awarded Pinot gris wines and promises an excellent drinking experience even after several years of storage.
