Pinot Nero

Pale pink with visual hints of the rosés of Provence. On the nose, discreet notes of small red fruits and rose petals. Beautiful, persistent perlage on the palate, then fresh and harmonious with a delicate aroma of berries and lilies. This spumante made from 100% Pinot Nero comes across as noble and aristocratic, yet it is never obtrusive, but has a subtle elegance and finesse. SUPERIORE.DE

"Bright, lightening pale pink. On the nose of fresh wild berries, citrus fruits and gentle floral components. Juicy and crisp on the palate, with well-integrated perlage, showing beautiful dancing play and juicy-precise course." Falstaff

The evening fall winds of the Mendel Mountains give the entire terroir of the St. Michael-Eppan Winery its characteristics. They ensure cool nights, they give the grapes those extraordinary qualities that are characteristic for the aroma, the unmistakable freshness and the longevity of the wines. The fall wind is the natural force that blows over the vineyard every day, positively influencing the climate and supporting the valuable work of the cooperative winery's winegrowers.

The Fallwind wines are ambassadors of their terroir and reflect the strengths of the growing region in a unique way. Most of them are selected sites where viticulture has been practised for centuries. Strict quality guidelines, low yields, intensive manual work in the vineyard as well as gentle and individual maturation in the cellar make them what they are: Wines full of character, precise and unique, which convince every connoisseur with their varietal characteristics.

The Rosé of San Michele Appiano is a single-varietal Pinot Noir from selected vineyards with predominantly southern exposure around the municipality of Eppan. Fresh, fruity, juicy and elegant rosato.

"Fallwind" is the new name for the Pinot Nero Riserva with feminine scents of sweet fruits, flowers, minerals and spices. Slender and delicate on the palate, with great balance. Pinot Noir is a diva with high demands on soil and climate and requires a lot of attention in the cellar. For Riserva quality, the vine must be at least ten years old and thrive in an excellent location. The Riserva from St. Michael Eppan must not shy away from international price-quality comparisons. SUPERIORE.DE

The name "Mimuèt" (to my taste) comes from Ladin. Convinced that South Tyrol offers the best conditions for the Pinot Noir grape variety, Alois Lageder paid particular attention to it at a very early stage.

On the palate, elegant, almost light on its feet, with a multi-layered, soft finish. SUPERIORE.DE
