Descrizione

The Sanct Valentin Pinot Grigio Alto Adige DOC from St. Michael Eppan shows a bright straw-yellow color with greenish highlights. On the nose it offers a clean, immediate bouquet of white-fleshed fruit, apple and pear, hints of ripe citrus and subtle floral nuances that contribute to an overall impression of finesse. On the palate it has a light to medium body, fresh well-balanced acidity and an equilibrium that favors drinkability; the finish is clean and of good persistence without excess.

A versatile white, suited for those seeking freshness and easy drinking: it pairs with boiled or grilled fish, shellfish, seasonal salads, light vegetable pasta dishes and delicate white meats. Served cool at around 8–10 °C, it is enjoyable young but can also accompany informal dishes on everyday or convivial occasions. Its honest flavor profile makes it a reliable choice for those who want a restrained Pinot Grigio with an Alpine touch.

Winery history
