St. Michael-Eppan Sanct Valentin Sauvignon 2024

St. Michael-Eppan Sanct Valentin Sauvignon from Alto Adige is a standout white wine produced by the prestigious St. Michael-Eppan winery. The Alto Adige region, nestled in the Italian Alps, is renowned for its high-altitude vineyards and diverse soils. The winemaking process involves careful hand-harvesting, followed by gentle pressing and fermentation in stainless steel tanks to preserve the grape's freshness and delicate aromatics. The wine is aged on fine lees and a small percentage of the wine is vinified in oak barrels, to add to the blend in a later stage. The result is a vibrant and expressive wine with notes of citrus, green apple, and herbs. It's known for its crisp acidity and mineral nuances, making it an ideal companion for seafood and lighter fare, exemplifying the elegance and precision of Alto Adige winemaking.
