Description
What kind of wine it is
Tramin Nussbaumer Gewürztraminer is an aromatic still white wine from Trentino-Alto Adige. A true expression of Alto Adige, it is made from Gewürztraminer grapes and reveals an intense and concentrated structure. The bouquet weaves together rose petals, spiced white flowers and ripe exotic fruit, with hints of lemon zest. The aromatic profile is enriched with notes of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger and saffron. On the palate it is full, juicy and fresh, supported by a pronounced minerality leading to an extremely persistent finish.
Where it comes from
This Gewürztraminer originates in Sella, a hamlet of Termeno at the foot of Mount Roen, within the Maso Nussbaumer vineyard. The rows of vines stretch between 350 and 550 metres above sea level, with an optimal south and south-east exposure. The roots delve into morainic soils, composed of calcareous gravel and clay over a porphyry rock base. The mountain habitat is characterised by significant temperature variations between warm days and cool nights. In the afternoon, the Ora breeze from Lake Garda arrives, ensuring excellent ventilation of the grape bunches.
How it is produced
The manual harvest takes place between September and October; the bunches are placed in small containers to preserve their integrity. In the winery, a brief cold maceration is followed by gentle pressing. The free-run must undergoes a slow fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. After natural settling, the wine matures in steel containers, remaining in contact with the lees until the end of August. The overall ageing requires at least fourteen months, including a final period of rest in the bottle.
History and Curiosities
The Nussbaumer Gewürztraminer originates in Sella, above Termeno, the result of the dedication of Cantina Tramin, an establishment founded in 1898. Under the guidance of oenologist Willi Stürz, this iconic white wine from the 2023 vintage, rated 93/100 by James Suckling, expresses the true elegance of Alto Adige. The meticulous manual harvest paves the way for a slow fermentation in steel, enriched by a long period on the lees for a total maturation of at least 14 months. A true oenological masterpiece, capable of offering a fascinating evolution in the bottle for up to 10 years.
