Pinot grigio "Sanct Valentin" 2019 DOC - St. Michael

• Pinot grigio "Sanct Valentin" 2019 DOC - St. Michael

Vintage: 2019
Grapes: Pinot grigio
Sanct Valentin Pinot Grigio was born back in 1986. The first grape selections were carried out in selected vineyards in Eppan/Berg, and a Pinot gris was vinified in small wooden barrels for the first time. With smoothly integrated acidity, power and fullness, the expressive Sanct Valentin Pinot Grigio has been well received for decades. It is one of Italy’s most-awarded Pinot gris wines and promises an excellent drinking experience even after several years of storage.
