An iconic grape variety between South Tyrol and Trentino

Gewurztraminer, also known as aromatic Traminer, is one of the oenological symbols of the Alto Adige region. Its identity is best expressed in the areas with the greatest vocation, where the cool climate and temperature variations favor the development of clear and deep aromas. This collection features labels that tell the story of the variety in different interpretations, from the fresher and more immediate versions to the more structured and mature ones.

Among the reference names, you will find producers such as Cantina Tramin, Tenuta J. Hofstätter, Elena Walch, Colterenzio Schreckbichl, Pfitscher, Cantina di Terlano - Kellerei Terlan, and Girlan, producers who have contributed to defining the contemporary style of this wine.

Aromas, structure, and style of Gewurztraminer

What makes Gewurztraminer so appreciated is its aromatic personality: notes of rose, exotic fruit, spices, and floral nuances accompany a soft and rich texture. In the more evolved versions, such as late harvests or reserves, the wine gains depth, intensity, and greater taste complexity, while always maintaining its distinctive character.

The selection also includes iconic and rare references, such as Epokale, Kolbenhof, Lunare, or Kastelaz, as well as more contemporary and immediate interpretations. This makes the collection suitable for both those who wish to discover the grape variety and those seeking prestigious bottles for a special occasion or to enrich a cellar of important white wines.
