The successive refinement also takes place in local acacia barrels, to confer this wine with its fresh and fruited apple and honey aromas.

Inspired by this significant project, by the small church just above the vineyards, and by St. Paul, who gave our winery its name, we elected to baptise this unique wine with the name of SANCTISSIMUS. The small harvest due to the age of the vines together with south-facing slopes guarantees the very best of grapes, hand-harvested with the utmost of care. Our reverence for this outstanding wine has impelled us to preserve the processing and ageing technique of a vinification system which is somewhat unusual in Alto Adige, and entails mild fermentation on skins followed by maturation in terracotta amphorae.
