"Aged in mostly steel with a small part in tonneaux and botte grandi, the San Michele Appiano 2019 Alto Adige Sauvignon Sanct Valentin is a beautifully tonic and fragrant expression that presents its aromas with chiseled precision. Tropical fruit, star jasmine, citrus, honey and tomato leaf create a balanced ensemble. This wine is more than a pretty bouquet. Like the other whites in the Sanct Valentin series, this Sauvignon shows good texture and smoothness as well." -Robert Parker

"There's a reason why this enticing, elegantly structured wine is one of Italy's most iconic whites. It opens with heady aromas of fragrant white wild flower, citrus, alpine herb and hazelnut while the delicious, racy palate features juicy white grapefruit, nectarine, fennel and savory mineral notes. A lemon drop note lingers on the finish."
