Winery St. Michael Eppan

Founded as a cooperative winery in 1907, St. Michael‑Eppan has grown to unite hundreds of wine‑growing families and to attain national and international recognition. Since the late 1970s the role of Hans Terzer has helped shift the focus from mass production to quality wines; in recent years the winery has developed flagship ranges such as Appius and The Wine Collection.

A cooperative effort by the members combined with a strong focus on terroir and varietal typicity: focused vinification, grape selection for the top ranges, and limited production for premium bottlings. The winery showcases local crus and varietal expression.

Appiano sulla Strada del Vino, located in the Alto Adige/Südtirol wine‑growing area, with vineyards situated at approximately 400–900 m above sea level; predominantly calcareous‑gravelly and morainic soils that characterize the winery’s wines.

Among recent recognitions: named "Cooperative Winery of the Year" by Gambero Rosso.
