• 6 bottle of 2018 St. Michael Eppan Anger Pinot Grigio Sudtirol – Alto Adige DOC

If you’re looking for a complex expression of the classic Pinot Grigio, you found it!

This wine is a Pinot Grigio that does not fear time but keeps evolving to express better its processing in the cellar which involves malolactic fermentation (transformation of malic acid into lactic) making the wine creamy and round. Fermentation of this wine is separated 50% in stainless steel tanks and 50% in wooden barrels. They are then combined in March every year. In the same way, you can perceive the quality of the fruit harvested at various vineyards near the village of St. Michael (400 – 430 m) with exposure to south and southeast from a limestone gravel soil.

Description

This is certainly a wine that denotes a certain level of complexity, from its intense colour to the mature notes on the nose. In the mouth, this wine is enveloping due to its processing, but at the same time, the acidity helps to balance the alcohol making it easy to drink.
