Questo vino
Vineyard and terroir
The grapes come from selected vineyards in Appiano (San Michele-Appiano), at 420–500 m above sea level. The vineyards face southeast and southwest, and the soils are gravelly with a high limestone content. The vines are between 10 and 30 years old.
Vinification
The grapes are harvested by hand in mid to late September and carefully hand-selected. Most of them (70%) are vinified in stainless steel tanks. The remaining 30% are vinified in oak barrels, where they also undergo malolactic fermentation. The two wines are blended in February.
Tasting profile
Fresh and full-bodied, with a silky elegance and a harmonious balance of acidity and softness.
Label / history
"Fallwind" is a collection of wines from selected vineyards. It is named after the wind that blows across the whole San Michele Appiano estate. The text says this wind gives the wines their distinctive aromas, freshness and longevity.
