Winery
In 1907 a small group of winemakers decided to join forces in order to improve the quality of their labels, thus giving birth to the cooperative winery of San Michele Appiano, which is today a reality that counts about three hundred and fifty members for an annual production of more than two million bottles. A real and proper colossus, an absolute reference for the whole production world not only in Alto Adige, which never fails to meet expectations thanks to a range of unique reliability. From Gewürztraminer to Müller Thurgau, from Sauvignon to Riesling, from Pinot Bianco to Lagrein, each bottle is a perfect synthesis of the varietal that gave birth to it. Fresh and vibrant wines, characterized by a clear territorial appeal and by a surprising average quality.
Description
This grape variety of Germanic origin has found an ideal terroir of adoption in South Tyrol. Riesling needs special conditions and prefers a cool, sunny climate. These conditions are present in the areas around Lake Monticolo and in neighboring microzones, where porphyritic soils give the wine its special character. Riesling from the "Fallwind" line is a fresh, straightforward and pleasant white wine that differs from the more full-bodied, lovable and complex German Rieslings.
Organoleptic characteristics:
Greenish yellow color to the eye. The nose opens with intense aromas of white peach, fresh apricot herbaceous and citrus aromas, with good persistence. The palate is intense with aromatic returns of sage, mint, lime, tropical fruit and balsamic herbs. Balanced and mineral.
Storage time:
3-5 years old
Vinification
Fermentation in steel containers. This is followed by aging on fine lees for another 5 months.
