Tramin Selida Alto Adige Gewurztraminer 2023

‘Selida’ is produced with grapes from a selection of vineyards with south-westerly exposure on some of the steepest terraces in the region at 300 to 500 meters above sea level. The climate is characterized by an extreme interplay of sunny days influenced by the Mediterranean climate and cool nights marked by the cold downslope winds from the surrounding mountains. The significant diurnal temperature variation encourages the development of naturally balancing acidity in the resulting wine. The soil comprises calciferous loam with gravel, and the rocky soils contribute to the mineral character. Guyot training of the vines helps to produce a balanced yield. ‘Selida’ comes from Old High German, meaning ‘small farmstead’, and pays tribute to the longstanding culture of smallholdings that still constitute the strength of Cantina Tramin. The grapes are hand-harvested into small bins to preserve the quality of the fruit.
