WINEMAKER NOTES

The St. Valentin has a clear, straw colour with slightly green reflections. It smells delightfully of intensive and typical fruit aromas: ripe apples and pears combine with melons and a trace of a fine vanilla fragrance. Concentrated and with a wonderful strength and richness, refined and clear in its way, its structure refreshing and lively despite maturation in wood: the Pinot Bianco St. Valentin is a wine which is set to become a real talking point.
