1 bottle à 0,75l | "Appius" Cuvée White Alto Adige DOC 2011

"2011 Alto Adige Appius represents a tremendous effort and a beautiful execution with a full and generous bouquet followed by a polished and refined mouthfeel. All its different elements, from density to acidity, flavour and elegance, are on point. Stone fruit gives way to toasted almonds, candied orange peel, honey and vanilla. The mouthfeel is particularly fine, supple and silky with a firm texture and structure." Wine Advocate

1 bottle à 0,75l | "Appius" Cuvée White Alto Adige DOC 2012

"Appius 2012 Alto Adige is a sophisticated blend of 65% Chardonnay, 15% Sauvignon, 10% Pinot Grigio and 10% Pinot Bianco. This wine goes beyond the idea of varietal voice, as all these different grapes form a seamless whole. You can feel the structure of the Chardonnay with the bright flavours of the Sauvignon. Nevertheless, it is difficult to recognise a single grape variety. The bouquet smells of peach, preserved lemon, pear and lightly toasted almonds." Wine Advocate

1 bottle à 0,75l | "Appius" Cuvée White Alto Adige DOC 2013

"2013 Alto Adige Appius consists mainly of Chardonnay (55%) with 25% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Pinot Grigio and 10% Pinot Bianco. Kudos to the winemaking team at San Michele Eppan for creating such a convincing and satisfying cuvée. Opens with a mild golden colour and brilliant persistence in the light. The bouquet is characterised by elegant notes of honey, stone fruit, tropical papaya and mango. It offers a spectacular level of fragrant intensity. The mouthfeel is soft, silky and long, with medium richness and lingering creaminess. The 14% alcohol is well integrated into the texture of the wine. Only 6,000 bottles were produced."

1 bottle à 0,75l | "Appius" Cuvée White Alto Adige DOC 2014

"This white wine is always stunning and 2014 could be the best yet. Guava peel, passion fruit, citrus peel, apricot, peach pie, croissant, orange blossom, nutmeg and spice make for an extremely complex nose. Multi-layered and very rich, but with just the right amount of acidity to provide definition and vibrancy. Long and very complex on the fleshy finish. An essay on the power and depth of a white wine." James Suckling

1 bottle à 0,75l | "Appius" Cuvée White Alto Adige DOC 2015

"The wine has a brilliant, golden colour with bright rays of sunlight shining from within. There is a hint of flint at the start, but this quickly dissipates. Once the wine gets going, it shows peach, Golden Delicious apple, toasted almond and spicy saffron. This is a medium to full-bodied white wine with the creaminess and inner structure to pair with buttered New England lobster when the occasion arises." Wine Advocate

1 bottle à 0,75l | "Appius" Cuvée White Alto Adige DOC 2016

"Bright, elegant straw yellow with light greenish reflections. Complex and multi-layered on the nose, with nuances of flint, mint, a hint of white chocolate, rich yellow fruit and light spice. Powerful and very elegant on the palate, straightforward and long, very complex, top class." Falstaff
