Südtiroler Weiß DOC Appius 750ml ST.MICHAEL 2012

Appius 2012
The third edition of the super wine APPIUS remains true to the principle of interpreting the respective vintage in the best possible way through excellent grapes personally
selected by Hans Terzer. From a climatic point of view, 2012 was very positive in the Überetsch: the harvest was without significant rainfall and produced fully ripe grapes
with beautiful fruit and intense aromas, which can also be found in the APPIUS 2012.
The cuvee with a main part of Chardonnay is combined with Sauvignon, Pinot Grigio and Pinot Blanc. The result: a multi-layered complex nose of paradisiacal fruit notes
such as: Banana, pineapple, papaya - but also slightly floral notes. The palate is flattered by a creamy structure accompanied by pleasant minerality, a fine acidity and a
long lasting finish. All in all, a very harmonious and elegant wine - which guarantees extraordinary drinking pleasure even after many years.
