Description
Aromatic still white wine produced by Colterenzio, Traminer Aromatico, 14% ABV. 2024 vintage. A Gewürztraminer that enchants with its aromatic richness and elegance, a true tribute to the grape variety. In 1960, 26 Colterenzio winemakers founded their own cooperative near Appiano, thus gaining independence from the wine merchants who dictated prices at the time. A rich and varied bouquet with hints of cinnamon and vanilla. A scent of rose petals, fruity notes of ripe apricots and lychees. Bright citrus yellow. A refined wine thanks to the extraordinary balance between body and finesse.

It was in the 1980s, South Tyrol was primarily a red-wine region, and the quality was run-of-the-mill. Raifer, a winegrower himself, recognised the potential of South Tyrol as an outstanding winegrowing region: The terroir was cheap, sufficient vineyard area was available and the winegrowers were hard-working and skilled. His first step in his vineyard, "Lafóa", a sunny mountain slope behind the Colterenzio cellar, was to replace the Vernatsch vines with Cabernet Sauvignon grapes, and, later, Sauvignon Blanc. He also brought in new quality standards: Lower yield for higher-quality grapes and higher-quality wines. It was on this pilot vineyard slope that, with both Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon, the new quality standard measures were introduced.
This quality philosophy extended its reach to all members of the cooperative: new grape varietals were experimented with, and quality groups created. Today, the members and workers at the cellar are committed to working in line with this model throughout the entire winegrowing area, the cellars and for all wines.
The 300 partner winegrowers of the Colterenzio winery are the backbone of the company. They work year-round on their wine hills with their families in order to supply us with top-quality wine grapes in autumn. Read more
