About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The fruit comes from vineyards around Tramin, Egna and Magrè, in the heart of the region’s Gewürztraminer-producing area. The vines are between 3 and 50 years old and grow in sandy clay soils.

Vinification

The grapes are gently pressed and allowed to settle naturally. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at 18–20 °C.

Ageing

The wine rests for at least four months before bottling.

Tasting profile

The nose is rich, with rose aromas characteristic of the variety. The palate is balanced, with ripe-fruit notes and a lightly spicy, smoky finish.

Serving and pairing

Suitable as an aperitif and with seafood or charcoal-grilled fish.
