The Gewürztraminer Sanct Valentin di San Michele Appiano is obtained from 100% Gewürztraminer grapes grown in the territories of Cortaccia, Caldaro, and Appiano, in the province of Bolzano. The original vineyards include plants ranging from 5 to 35 years old, with a south-eastern exposure on gravelly and calcareous-clayey soils, at an altitude ranging from 300 to 500 meters above sea level. After manual harvesting, carried out between mid-September and early October, the grapes were sent for vinification, which included a maceration phase of the must in contact with the skins and subsequent soft pressing and fermentation in stainless steel. Before bottling, the Gewürztraminer Alto Adige DOC Sanct Valentin aged for 6 months in stainless steel on its own yeasts, enhancing its body, substances, and aromas.
