The St. Michael-Eppan 2020 Alto Adige Chardonnay Sanct Valentin shows zesty fruit with chopped apple, quince and papaya. There is a spicy element as well with a combination of ginger and saffron. That fresh fruit cedes to flinty smoke and crushed stone. This wine shows beautifully in this warm and sunny vintage. It sees 11 months in oak and eight months in cement.

The Alto Adige DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) is a prestigious wine appellation located in the northernmost part of Italy, nestled in the region of South Tyrol, also known as Südtirol. This area is renowned for its unique blend of Italian and Austrian cultures, which is reflected in its winemaking traditions and the varietal diversity. The region's cool climate and high altitude create an ideal environment for growing a variety of grapes, leading to the production of wines with distinct freshness and aromatic intensity.

Alto Adige DOC is especially noted for its white wines, such as Pinot Grigio, Gewürztraminer, and Sauvignon Blanc, which are highly appreciated for their crispness, elegance, and aromatic complexity. The area also produces excellent reds, including Schiava and Lagrein, which are cherished for their robust flavors and smooth tannins. These wines typically exhibit characteristics influenced by the terroir, such as mineral notes derived from the mountainous terrain and a vibrant acidity due to the cooler growing conditions.

The Alto Adige DOC appellation ensures that all wines produced under its label meet rigorous standards of quality and authenticity. This is achieved through strict regulations governing viticulture and winemaking practices, including yield limits, grape varieties, and aging requirements. As a result, Alto Adige DOC wines are not only a symbol of high quality but also a true expression of the region's rich cultural heritage and winemaking expertise.
