Tramin Pinot Grigio

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. This is given to a winery for achieving the prestigious "3 Bicchieri" 20 times and is awarded by the Gambero Rosso.

A mild and sunny winter with little rainfall was followed by a dry March, which resulted in relatively early budburst. Spring was cool and rainy, while warm sunny days alternated with rainy days in June. A hot summer, followed by rain at the beginning of September demanded a lot of effort from the winegrowers, which was in turn rewarded with a splendid autumn and ideal harvest conditions. The 2023 white wines are delicate and full of juicy freshness.

The grapes are grown in 14 hectares of vineyards across three areas: near Montan, Egna and Tramin. Alto Adige is a dynamic wine growing region in Northern Italy that combines a brisk Alpine climate, mountain viticulture and complex geology, with the brilliance of Mediterranean sunshine. 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 vines yield 80hl/ha and are planted in calcareous clay, limestone and gravel soils, at an altitude of 250 to 400 metres.

The grapes were gently pressed immediately upon arrival at the winery. Fermentation took place in small temperature controlled stainless steel tank at 19°C. The wine went through partial malolactic conversion, before being matured in stainless steel vats to retain freshness and purity of fruit.
