- Sumptuous and complex wine with aromas of peach, pear, elderflower, and floral notes of Jasmine. This is elegant and spicy with a rich, full-bodied palate of pineapple, pear, and mineral undertones. Long and creamy on the finish. Temperatures above average in spring resulted in early budding and prolonged high temperatures in May, accelerated flowering. Thanks to careful vineyard management and occasional showers, the vines survived the summer, characterised by stages of extreme heat without stress. The harvest began almost two weeks earlier than usual, and with ideal weather conditions, the grapes reached exceptional quality. The white wines are characterised by notes of refined fruit and balanced acidity.
The grapes were gently pressed. The must was fermented with selected yeasts at temperatures of 18 to 20˚C in large oak barrels, where partial malolactic conversion occurred. The wine was clarified through the natural sedimentation of the particles. The wine matured in large Austrian oak casks of 30 to 40 hectares for 11 months. During maturation, the wine was in constant contact with the fine lees, adding texture and complexity. After the wine had been blended and bottled, it was cellared for three months before release.
It is a sumptuous and complex wine with aromas of peach, pear, elderflower, and floral notes of jasmine. This is elegant and spicy, with a rich, full-bodied palate of pineapple, pear, and mineral undertones. The finish is long and creamy.

Winery | This region owes its Italian name of 'Alto-Adige' to the river Adige that flows through on its way to the Adriatic Sea. The 10 to 40-year-old vines are grown at over 400 metres, mostly between 500 to 600 metres above sea level. The climate is characterised by the extreme interplay of sunny days influenced by the Mediterranean climate and cool nights marked by the cold downslope winds from the surrounding mountains. The vineyard soils are gravelly to rocky with limestone and loam and are rich in minerals. It is this stone-rich soil that gives this wine its name: in the local dialect, it is referred to as "stoan." Cantina Tramin was founded in 1898 and has 310 member winegrowers who follow its strict directives on cultivating the vines. The vineyards are an integral part of the enchanting and picturesque landscape of the Alto-Adige region of Northern Italy and cover 260 hectares on the sunny slopes of the region at altitudes ranging from 250 to 850 meters above sea level. In 2011, Cantina Tramin gained the "Double Stella" award. This is given to a winery for achieving the prestigious "3 Bicchieri" 20 times and is awarded by the Gambero Rosso. |
