St. Michael-Eppan Sanct Valentin Sauvignon Alto Adige DOC

Some 340 winemaking families joined forces in 1907 to create St. Michael-Eppan Winery, home to South Tyrol’s largest wine-growing municipality, Eppan.
Cellar Master Hans Terzer’s attaches the utmost importance to vinifying top wines that are clear, pure in tone and true to their varietal characteristics.

In the top wines Sanct Valentin, winemaker Hans Terzer expresses all his skill and experience. Using only the finest grapes from the territory of the Cantina St. Michael-Eppan, he composes elegant, layered and multidimensional wines, characterized by exquisite minerality, elegant aromas and excellent aging potential.

It was in 1989 that the most famous white wine of our winery was born. For more than 30 years, Sauvignon Sanct Valentin has benefited from single and selected plots located on the slopes at the foot of the Mendola, to generate a wine of the highest profile. With seductive fruit, excellent minerality and persistence, this wine is the most important of the Sanct Valentin line and one of the most awarded white wines in Italy.
