The “St. Valentin” line: the highest elegance and excellence
A special chapter in the history of the winery is the “St. Valentin” line, which was launched in 1989 with the first Sauvignon “St. Valentin”. This Sauvignon, which has since developed into one of the most famous Sauvignons in Italy, marks the beginning of a success story that continues to this day.
The St. Valentin wines represent the best that St. Michael-Eppan has to offer. They are made from the best grapes from the cooperative's oldest and lowest-yielding vineyards. Cellar master Hans Terzer, who has been at the helm of the winery since the 1970s, has set a benchmark for top wines from South Tyrol with the St. Valentin line.
The Sauvignon “St. Valentin” impresses with a breathtaking aroma that ranges from tropical fruit to herbal notes and mineral nuances. On the palate, it is complex, elegant and has a long, intense finish. In addition to Sauvignon, the St. Valentin line also includes other top wines such as Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Blanc, all of which enjoy international recognition.
The Fallwind line: modern elegance for the upper middle class
Another highlight in the St. Michael-Eppan range is the newly designed Fallwind line, which has recently undergone a comprehensive realignment. It represents the upper mid-range of the house and combines excellent wine quality with a fresh, modern appearance. The redesign included not only an optimization of the wines themselves, but also a complete overhaul of the bottles, closures and labels.
The previous wines, which were known by traditional but sometimes difficult to remember names such as “Pagis” or “Lahn”, were reunited under the easily memorable common name “Fallwind”. This name, inspired by the characteristic downslope winds that provide ideal climatic conditions in the South Tyrolean vineyards, symbolizes the influence of nature on the quality of the wines.
With this line, St. Michael-Eppan offers wines that impress with their clarity, finesse and modern style. They are perfect for wine lovers who are looking for something special without venturing into the highest price categories. The new closures and the revised design of the bottles round off the high-quality appearance and make the Fallwind wines a pleasure for the eye and palate alike.
