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
Thanks to selection in the vineyard and low yields, the local variety of Lagrein has become South Tyrol's leading native red wine. In the vineyard, warm and possibly sandy soils are preferred, while in the cellar, resting in wood is absolutely necessary for the Riserva. Grapes from the Bolzano area are used for aging Lagrein Riserva. The result is a complex red wine, which fascinates with its robust structure and the diversity of its aromas.
