This wine is the favorite of the Italians and the indigenous white grape variety in South Tyrol. The beguiling Gewürztraminer ranks among the most exciting growths in the wine world. Sanct Valentin Gewurztraminer has an intense and complex bouquet, with aromas reminiscent of Asian spices, the delicate scent of roses and exotic fruits. As early as 1986, Gewurztraminer was vinified for the first time as the top growth of the Sanct Valentin line. It is set apart for its longevity, which promises a wonderful drinking experience even after many years.
