Tasting notes

On the palate ithere is a distinct intensity and richness; straightforward and direct, precise and well defined, solid and compact when drinking. Softness and acidity balance in perfect harmony. The Chardonnay grapes provide an extraordinary aromatic abundance of tropical fruits (pineapple, mango, papaya). Pinot Grigio and Pinot Blanc are evidenced by echoes of white-fleshed fruits such as quince and Williams pear.

Age of vines

25 to 40 years.

Vinification

Placed in barrique-tonneaux for alcoholic and malolactic fermentation (except Sauvignon). Assemblage takes place after one year, followed by another three years of maturation in stainless-steel tanks with fine yeast.

Appellation

Alto Adige Doc.

Background

With its tenth edition, APPIUS is crowned the cult wine of the St. Michael-Eppan winery. The 2019 vintage was blessed with an ideal summer and autumn, allowing Hans Terzer to create a new masterpiece. The impressive cuvee is characterised by a broad range of aromas, exquisite light reflections and clarity, but above all by an exceptional complexity and elegance.

Harvest

End of September to early October.

Food pairing

Excellent accompaniment to strong fish dishes such as turbot or monkfish. Goes well with mushroom and truffle dishes, fine white meat and game. Also wonderful with creamy and mature cheeses. Serve between 8 to 10 degrees Celcius.
