The Chardonnay Sanct Valentin di San Michele Appiano was produced from 100% chardonnay grapes selected from the best company vineyards for exposure in the municipality of Appiano (BZ). Here the soil is of a calcareous-gravelly nature with moraine sediments and the altitude is between 450 and 550 metres above sea level. The refinement was 11 months on the lees (a practice that gives body and greater aroma to the wine) in barrique-tonneaux and a further 6 months in steel vats. It is one of the symbolic wines of the San Michele Appiano winery like all the wines of the Sanct Valentin line that come from fine selections and are characterised by finesse and longevity potential.
