"QUALITY KNOWS NO COMPROMISE."
These are the best-known words of Hans Terzer, the winemaker of the Cantina San Michele Appiano and to whom he has remained faithful over the years.
With passion and courage, Hans Terzer brought the wines of San Michele Appiano to the pinnacle of Italian wine.
One of his great talents is the knowledge of varieties, which he has perfected over the past 40 years. "Each grape needs a particular location in the vineyard, with yields that must be based on quality."
Over the course of his career, he became passionate about white berry grapes, proving to be one of the pioneers of White Wines in South Tyrol over time. Also Hans Terzer, he started among the first in South Tyrol to make white wines in barrels.
At the end of the 90s, Hans Terzer discovered, in the vicinity of the cellar, areas very suitable for the production of a great Pinot Noir.A relationship of true love for the Primadonna of the grape varieties was born immediately.
In 1997, the magazine "Il Gambero Rosso" included him among the ten best winemakers in the world. In 2000, he was awarded the title of "Cave of the Year" in San Michele Appiano. In 2017 "Der Feinschmecker", Germany's largest and most prestigious gastronomic and lifestyle magazine, awarded Hans Terzer the Lifetime Achievement Award.

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. See less
