The foundation was first laid in 1989 for what is arguably the most famous white wine produced at St. Michael-Eppan Winery. The Sanct Valentin Sauvignon has found excellent conditions at the foot of the Mendel Massif in selected vineyards that have been carefully chosen over the course of the last 20 years, in order to produce a great vintage wine with impressive fruit, minerality and excellent persistence. This fine wine is not only the pride of the winery today and the most important wine of the Sanct Valentin line, but also one of Italy’s most award-winning white wines.

  • Complete description

    Vintage Description:

    Here’s a fresh and fragrant white wine to pair with Thai spring rolls or an insalata Caprese topped with garden-fresh basil. Mostly aged in steel (75%), the 2020 Alto Adige Sauvignon Sanct Valentin is a snappy, lean-bodied wine with lemon zest, green papaya and tangy kiwi fruit. There are subtle mineral notes on the close, but this youthful wine remains fundamentally fruit-forward and primary in character. (Monica Larner - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, 16th Sep 2021)
