Sanct Valentin · Chardonnay DOC 2020

  The “St. Valentin” Chardonnay from the St. Michael-Eppan winery is a wine of remarkable fullness and harmonious elegance that impressively expresses the alpine origins of South Tyrol. Its bouquet unfolds delicate notes of ripe pears, apples, and yellow peaches, complemented by hints of almond and subtle vanilla notes, which come from gentle aging in wooden barrels. The grapes thrive on sunny, high-altitude slopes, where cool downdrafts and mineral-rich soils promote precise ripeness and elegant freshness. On the palate, the wine is velvety and balanced, with a harmonious balance between creamy texture, lively fruitiness, and subtle depth, making every sip an expressive experience.

The name “St. Valentin” connects the wine with the region's rich culture and history, giving it special symbolic significance. At the St. Michael-Eppan winery, great importance is attached to careful hand harvesting and gentle vinification, so that the characteristic nuances of Chardonnay remain unadulterated. This combination of alpine origins, natural viticulture, and artisanal precision creates a wine that embodies the passion of the winemakers, the quality of the grapes, and the unique landscape of South Tyrol in every drop, perfectly combining elegance, finesse, and sophistication. - Gerardo [TS10/21]
