Up until the ‘80s some Chardonnay grapevines could be found in Pinot Bianco vineyards. Only in 1982, for the first time in South Tyrol, Chardonnay was vinified as a unique varietal wine by St. Michael-Eppan Winery, and since then it has experienced enormous popularity. It is wonderfully juicy and inviting, with long-lasting persistence.
