In the glass
Aroma: white peach, yellow apple, almond blossom, subtle spice
Palate: stone fruit, creamy lees, saline minerality, long mineral finish
Cantina St. Michael-Eppan's Sanct Valentin Pinot Bianco - the cellar's flagship Pinot Bianco from selected microzones around Appiano. Full-bodied with creamy lees-driven texture and saline minerality; cellar-worthy and structured.
What it pairs with
-
Pan-seared trout with herb butter
Sanct Valentin's creamy lees and almond blossom meet trout's delicate flesh; saline minerality cuts the butter. -
Shellfish risotto
Full-bodied white with creamy texture supports risotto; saline finish flatters shellfish sweetness. -
Aged hard alpine cheese
Mature cheese matches the wine's depth and structure; high acidity keeps the pairing balanced.
History
Pinot Bianco joined the prestigious Sanct Valentin range in 2001. Winemaker Jakob Gasser selects only the most excellent grapes from select microzones of the Appiano municipality to create elegant, complex wines with exceptional ageing properties.
