Up until the late 1970s, Pinot blanc and smaller proportions of Chardonnay were mostly vinified in mixed composition as Pinot blanc. In 1982 Chardonnay was vinified as a varietal wine for the first time in South Tyrol by St. Michael-Eppan Winery, and has experienced an enormous boom. It is wonderfully juicy and inviting, with long-lasting persistence.

The terrace wine for warm summer evenings. It goes well with starters such as porcini carpaccio, light cuisine and pasta fredda - the Italian pasta salad. Serve between 8 to 10 degrees celcius.
