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
The "Fallwind" line is inspired by the wind that blows across the entire growing area of Cantina San Michele Appiano. It is the element that gives its wines extraordinary aromatic characteristics, freshness and great longevity. Lagrein, thanks to its selection and low yields, is the most representative native red wine of Alto Adige. To obtain Lagrein Riserva Fallwind in the vineyard, moraine and gravelly soils located in the Bolzano basin are preferred. Aging and resting in wood enhance the harmony, and the result is a complex red that captivates with its robust structure and multiplicity of aromas.
