A lifted profile with lush red and black cherries, leather and earthy strawberries but a very supple palate. Medium-bodied, it has long, crisp and biting acidity with ripe tannins. Just a bit youthful. Drinkable now but best from the end of 2025.

The St. Michael-Eppan 2022 Alto Adige Pinot Noir Riserva Sanct Valentin reveals a medium-lean mouthfeel with tart berry, cassis and forest floor. The wine is bright and pretty, allowing for floral tones and light spice to emerge as delicate background notes. This wine falls squarely into the red fruits spectrum, with freshness to boot. It ages in barrique and tonneaux for 10 months, followed by a 10-month resting period in cement.

An elegant red, with light, supple tannins and briary herb and woodsy spice aromatics layered with creamed cherry and pureed raspberry fruit. Plays nicely between its savory and fruit character, ending with a burst of mineral and toast notes.
