Pinot Grigio Alto Adige 2023 Tramin

PGCT23

New product

Pinot Grigio from Cantina Tramin is dry, crisp and refreshing with delicate fruit aromas of green apples, a nutty complexity and hints of green leaves. The wine shows a beautiful balance between a bright acidity and a richness of texture and is a million miles from the wines that have made Pinot Grigio's 'workhorse' reputation.

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.

Cantina Tramin

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.

Jancis Robinson MW says the following about Cantina Tramin:

"Cantina Tramin is a reliable source (of top quality dry white wines). The sleepy village of Termeno/Tramin, is the birthplace of the Traminer white grape variety, also known as Gewürztraminer (spiced Traminer) for its heady aroma. Even today Tramin really is very good for Traminer, and has been waking up in response to a discernible fashion for this powerfully scented, full-bodied varietal wine throughout Italy."
