The Cantina Tramin Gewurztraminer 2016 – Aromatic and spicy Traminer. Lychee and grapefruit. Ripe tropical fruit flavor. Medium-low acidity. Rich and dense. Close to Alsace style. Pleasant fruity finish.
Evidence shows that Gewürztraminer has been cultivated in our area for over a thousand years. It is a variety of ancient origins, the noble ancestor of prestigious grape varieties appreciated and grown all over the world, such as Cabernet, Riesling and Pinots. Here in Tramin, Gewürztraminer has found the ideal environment for developing its distinctive, intense aromas. Here, the vines grow at medium-high elevations, facing south/southeast for best exposure to the sun, and benefit from significant diurnal temperature swings with hot days and cool, breezy nights. Here, where the warm Ora wind from Lake Garda meets the local mountain breezes, creating an Alpine-Mediterranean microclimate with 300 days of sunshine per year, our grapes reach full maturity.
Cantina Tramin is a dream that survives the night’s passing: it is relived every day through our natural desire for novelty, the future, what will come; aware and proud of the skills and traditions that stem from our cooperative history.
We are the backbone of one of the oldest cooperatives in Alto Adige. We embody the typical characteristics of our region: the power of nature and its palette of sensory delights. We make use of our creative and productive focus on quality, innovating, networking and cooperating to make wines that mirror these qualities in the bottle.
