APPIUS 2015
Alto Adige DOC

The sixth edition of the dream wine by Hans Terzer reveals itself as another masterpiece from the winery, which can boast a hundred years of history. The APPIUS is just as rich and full as the vintage itself. 2015 is considered to be one of the best vintages of the last decade, evidenced by a harvest of perfectly ripened grapes. Made from carefully selected premium-class grapes, APPIUS 2015 has a solid backbone of Chardonnay grape which has been enhanced by a blend of Pinot Gris, Pinot Blanc and Sauvignon. The wine delights with its harmonious balance of intense fragrance, minerality and lively freshness with a long aromatic finish
