Kellerei St. Michael Eppan is passionately dedicated to creating great white and red wines, a perfect synthesis of this fantastic terroir that allows the cultivation of various excellent grape varieties.

The vineyards cover a total of 380 hectares in areas with different characteristics, mostly located in the municipality of Appiano.
In the winery, the metamorphosis of the grape occurs. A combination of ancient and innovative winemaking techniques. The "respect for the fruit" is the most important rule for producing long-lived wines with great personality.

From Gewürztraminer to Müller Thurgau, from Sauvignon to Riesling, from Pinot Bianco to Lagrein, each bottle is a perfect synthesis of the varietal from which it originates. Fresh and vibrant wines, characterized by a clear territorial reference and an astonishing average quality.
