Where it comes from
This Gewurztraminer has its roots in the mountainous soils of Alto Adige, delivering an authentic expression of the vocation of this region. It is produced by the Erste+Neue winery, active since 1900. The company bases its work on a deep respect for nature, practising rigorous sustainable viticulture aimed at protecting resources and biodiversity. This journey towards environmental balance is evidenced by the FAIR’N GREEN certification, which attests to an ethical approach and responsible management of the wine-growing landscape.
How it is produced
The processing of the Traminer Aromatico grapes begins with a brief cold maceration in the press, a technique designed to gently extract all the aromatic components. The must ferments in stainless steel containers at a controlled temperature. The entire transformation takes place protected from oxygen to preserve the freshness and precision of the aromas. Completing the technical process, ageing on fine lees enriches the body of the wine, giving it its characteristic structural fullness and ensuring a harmonious finish.
History and Curiosities
Born in South Tyrol from the union of two historic wineries active since 1900, this Gewürztraminer embodies the principles of sustainable viticulture. The 2023 vintage enhances the organic Aromatic Traminer through oxygen-free vinification and careful ageing on fine lees in steel. This attention brings out delicate hints of rose, combined with spicy notes of cinnamon and lychee. Tasting this white wine means experiencing a remarkable structure, enlivened by a pleasant vibrancy that ensures excellent drinkability.
