Kellerei S.

The metamorphosis of the grapes takes place in the cellar. A combination of ancient and innovative winemaking techniques. "Respect for the fruit" is the most important rule for the production of long-lasting wines with a great personality. The grapes are rigorously vinified for their particularities in order to enhance each vineyard. The wines are then aged in steel or wood barrels to emphasize individual characteristics. BARRICAIE Since the 1980s, the space of white and red barrels has conquered the heart of the cellar. In them, the selections of the most precious and prized wines ripen in small barrels of French oak. This refinement requires great sensitivity and gives life to complex wines, which embody a perfect symbiosis between fruit and the nuances that wood can enhance. LARGE BARRELS In the Cantina San Michele Appiano, the traditional ageing of wines in large wooden barrels still plays an important role today. For this reason, in recent years, the historic cellar has been completely renovated with more than 50 large oak barrels. The four 150 hl old barrels immediately attracted attention, which, adorned with ancient sculptures, depicted historical events from 1907. steel Steel is essential for modern winemaking. In fact, it is the ideal material for both fermentation tanks and storage tanks, guaranteeing hygiene and cleanliness. The steel allows a clear transformation of musts and wines, and is able to enhance the freshness and aromas of the different grape varieties. CAVE IN GRAVITY AND DELIVERY AREA The new 30,000 m3 gravitational cellar, completed in 2020, allows us to guarantee a modern and efficient delivery and processing of our grapes. We are able to optimize diversification and work the different qualities individually in a very short time to preserve the quality of the fruit.
