More questions
The Chardonnay Fallwind Alto Adige DOC from St. Michael Eppan offers an elegant, linear profile typical of alpine interpretations of the variety. In the glass it appears bright, with aromas recalling white and yellow‑fleshed fruit, ripe citrus and light floral hints; the drinking experience is balanced, supported by pleasant freshness and a clean finish that leaves room for a subtle minerality. The style emphasizes fruit purity and aromatic precision. The structure is restrained yet present, ideal for those seeking a characterful white without excess.
Suitable for early drinking, it pairs easily with fish dishes, shellfish, white meats and vegetable preparations, as well as fresh cheeses. Also good as an aperitif for those who appreciate wines rooted in Alto Adige tradition but with a modern style. To appreciate its nuances, pour into open glasses and serve chilled, around 8–10 °C; avoid temperatures that are too low as they can mute the aromas.

The story
Founded in 1907 as a cooperative of winegrowers; the top-tier "Sanct Valentin" range (including Pinot Grigio Sanct Valentin) was introduced in 1986. ([stmichael.it](https://www.stmichael.it/en/))
Production philosophy
Careful selection of the best grapes from estate vineyards, emphasis on terroir and vinification to express minerality, fine aromatics and ageing potential (the Sanct Valentin range is overseen by winemaker Jakob Gasser).
