91 Robert Parker
The 2015 Alto Adige Sauvignon Sanct Valentin shows a level of intensity and clarity that represents the best side of this classic vintage. The bouquet is super fresh and fragrant and is an absolute pleasure to drink, sip after sip. The wine doesn't pretend to offer infinite complexity, but that is not the point. Instead, it promises a glitch-free expression of this fragrant grape from the cool climate of Northern Italy. <br/><br/>San Michele Appiano is often listed by its German name St. Michael-Eppan. Of the excellent wines presented here, a special call-out goes to the fabulous 2010 and 2011 vintages of the Alto Adige Appius blend of white grapes. These are two true works of art from the far north of Italy.

St. Michael-Eppan
Three-hundred and forty families form the backbone of this innovative, Alto Adige estate. The St. Michael-Eppan Winery was born in 1907, when this passionate group of people came together. Situated in the center of South Tyrol’s leading wine-growing communities, St. Michael-Eppan’s vineyards are scattered amongst the sun-kissed slopes and hidden age-old estates. A product of many, the wines of St. Michael-Eppan highlight the knowledge, tradition, and passion found in each of the founding individuals. Today, the winery is led by Anton Zublasing, Günther Neumair, and head oenologist, Hans Terzer who is widely recognized for his vinous wizardry and forward-thinking. A real pioneer in the field, St. Michael-Eppan’s modern vinification processes have led them to become one of the first wineries in the areas to introduce a barrique refining system. What began as a modest cooperative winery, the St. Michael-Eppan estate has become one of the largest and most successful wine businesses in Italy.
