CANTINA PRODUTTORI SAN MICHELE APPIANO SOC.AGR.COOP, VIA CIRCONVALLAZIONE 17-19 39057 APPIANO SULLA STRADA DEL VINO
Schiava, locally known as Vernatsch, was the most important indigenous variety in South Tyrol for centuries. Today, in view of modern viticulture, in order to ensure better selection, the areas defined as 'suitable' have decreased. Schiava occupies the south/east and south/west-facing slopes around the 'legendary' Wine Route. Vernatsch Fallwind is a fresh, fruity wine. Simply a South Tyrolean classic. From vineyards with an average age of between 20 and 40 years, mostly cultivated using the pergola method, the grapes are harvested at the end of September, obviously by hand, in order to ensure a better selection of the bunches on the vine. Fermentation on the skins, after which the wine is left to mature in steel vats before bottling. In the glass, it has a beautiful ruby red colour. On the nose, the main aromas are those of fresh fruit, such as cherries, to which is added a delicate note of violets. In the mouth, then, a smooth and elegant wine is revealed, with a light note of bitter almond. A wine that is good right from the start, it is perfect with hors d'oeuvres, especially speck, sausages, soft cheeses and black bread. Served chilled, it also perfectly accompanies fish.
About 2 million bottles a year. Very high average quality. Around 350 members. These are the numbers, and the facts, that characterise the beautiful cooperative winery in San Michele Appiano. Founded in 1907 by a few wine growers who were visionary in their own way, today it is one of the most solid entities in Northern Italy, with wines that are appreciated, and awarded, all over the world. If one thinks of Alto Adige and its good varietals, San Michele Appiano cannot be missed. Its production, in fact, is dominated by wines made from grapes typical of the region, from Gewürztraminer to Müller Thurgau. From Sauvignon to Riesling. From Pinot Bianco to Lagrein. All mountain grapes that grow thanks to the mild climate and the unique soils of its vineyards. Today, the winery has around 400 hectares under vine. An enormous area, if one thinks of Alto Adige, but small in absolute terms. Especially when one considers the number of members in the winery. When it comes to vineyard management, a team of technicians and agronomists is constantly at each winegrower's side, offering valuable advice on how to manage their rows. The result is grapes of the highest quality, which, once they reach the winery, are processed to enhance every nuance, thanks to the most innovative oenological techniques. Welcome to Alto Adige.
