Product description

Here in what is probably the oldest Pinot Blanc vineyard in Alto Adige, with vines planted since 1899, the grapes thrive and prosper for our most exclusive of wines.

Inspired by this significant project, by the small church just above the vineyards, and by St. Paul, who gave our winery its name, we elected to baptise this unique wine with the name of SANCTISSIMUS.

The small harvest due to the age of the vines together with south-facing slopes guarantees the very best of grapes, hand-harvested with the utmost of care. Our reverence for this outstanding wine has impelled us to preserve the processing and ageing technique of a vinification system which is somewhat unusual in Alto Adige, and entails mild fermentation on skins followed by maturation in terracotta amphorae.

Production is strictly limited to around 2,000 bottles in 1.5L magnum and 0.75L format, ready for distribution only after lengthy maturation in the bottle. Enjoy this exclusive white wine rarity in all its glory!

"Satt strahlendes Strohgelb. In der Nase nach Wachs, weißer Birne, Brennnessel, Salbei, nach etwas Zeit auch Nuancen von Kernobst, weißen Blüten und Honig. Am Gaumen saftig, klar, mit feiner Ausprägung und mittlerem Gewicht, zeigt sich zwar saftig und frisch, feiner Schmelz, bricht im hinteren Bereich leider etwas weg."

"Funkelndes, zartes Strohgelb. Eröffnet mit würzigen Noten, nach Anis und Fenchel, duftet dann nach Quitte, Apfel und Lindenblüte. Zeigt am Gaumen schönes Spiel, viel süßer Schmelz, stoffig, breitet sich satt aus, im Finale dezenter Gerbstoff, der dem Wein Druck verleiht. Othmar Kiem, Simon Staffler"

"Glossy and structured, this opens with aromas suggesting acacia honey, toasted hazelnut, crushed stone and a hint of light spice. The smooth but firm palate offers mature yellow apple, tangerine zest and a honeyed mineral note while fresh acidity brightens the creamy flavors. Drink through 2020."

Vielschichtige, einladende Nase, präsentiert sich mit Noten nach Honigmelone, baumreifem Apfel, etwas weißer Spargel, unterlegt von dezent rauchigen Tönen. Am Gaumen sehr stoffig, betont salzig im Verlauf, kraftvoll, zeigt tiefgründiges Spiel, satter Druck im Finale, sehr langer Nachhall."
