About the Producer
Cantina Tramin was founded in 1898 and has 310 member winegrowers who follow its strict directives on the cultivation of 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 situated on the sunny slopes of the region at altitudes ranging from 250 to 850 metres above sea level. In 2011, Cantina Tramin gained the "Double Stella" award - an extraordinary achievement, which is given to a winery for being awarded the prestigious "3 Bicchieri" 20 times by Gambero Rosso.
Vineyard and 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 sleepy village of Termeno or Tramin is thought to be the birthplace of the Traminer white grape variety, also known as Gewürztraminer. 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 vineyards are made up of calcareous clay and gravelly soils, the clay is known for its cooling properties, while the gravel offers a free-draining soil for the vines. The vines yield 65hl/ha and are cultivated sustainably, without the use of herbicides.
Made by winemaker Will Stűrz, who has been previously nominated 'Italian winemaker of the Year' by the prestigious Gambero Rosso and makes some of the best white wines in Italy. The grapes were gently pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery. Fermentation took place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks at 21°C. Malolactic conversion did not take place, in order to retain the fresh and vibrant character of the wine. Refinement took place in stainless steel vats until bottled.
