The process concludes with a further rest of six months in \u003cstrong\u003estainless steel tanks\u003c\/strong\u003e, a fundamental phase for harmonising the wine's structure and preserving its lively flavour.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and trivia\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIntroduced in 2001 as part of the prestigious Sanct Valentin range, this wine showcases grapes that were unfairly undervalued for a long time.
