An exquisite accompaniment to exclusive parties and special occasions, it pairs well with fried fish such as ocean perch, sole or char on pepper cream or with full-flavored vegetable risotto.
The St. Michael-Eppan 2021 Alto Adige Sauvignon Sanct Valentin feels like an ice cube on the palate that refreshes and revives. This is a sharply tonic and lean wine with great tension and energy. The bouquet opens to passion fruit, lychee, green papaya and underripe pineapple. The alcohol content is recorded at 14%, which seems a little high for an Alto Adige wine, but the heat is well absorbed by the wine's lean texture. Zesty exotic fruit appears on the finish. Sanct Valentin sees mostly stainless steel with 25% aged in tonneaux.

The Alto Adige DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata) is a prestigious wine appellation located in the northernmost part of Italy, nestled in the region of South Tyrol, also known as Südtirol. This area is renowned for its unique blend of Italian and Austrian cultures, which is reflected in its winemaking traditions and the varietal diversity. The region's cool climate and high altitude create an ideal environment for growing a variety of grapes, leading to the production of wines with distinct freshness and aromatic intensity.

Alto Adige DOC is especially noted for its white wines, such as Pinot Grigio, Gewürztraminer, and Sauvignon Blanc, which are highly appreciated for their crispness, elegance, and aromatic complexity. The area also produces excellent reds, including Schiava and Lagrein, which are cherished for their robust flavors and smooth tannins. These wines typically exhibit characteristics influenced by the terroir, such as mineral notes derived from the mountainous terrain and a vibrant acidity due to the cooler growing conditions.

The Alto Adige DOC appellation ensures that all wines produced under its label meet rigorous standards of quality and authenticity. This is achieved through strict regulations governing viticulture and winemaking practices, including yield limits, grape varieties, and aging requirements. As a result, Alto Adige DOC wines are not only a symbol of high quality but also a true expression of the region's rich cultural heritage and winemaking expertise.
