Backdropped by the Dolomites and Alps and nestled on the borders of Austria and Switzerland, Alto Adige —also known as the South Tyrol – is a stunning spot and a fantastic wine region. Alto Adige is blessed with a diverse and rich landscape, with various microclimates, exceptional soil composition and vineyards grown on slopes with different inclinations, at multiple altitudes and exposures. As a result, the wines produced here have a strong identity.

Catina Tramin is the backbone of one of Alto Adige’s oldest cooperatives, founded in 1898. Today, it comprises 160 families tending approximately 270 hectares of vineyards, producing an average of 1.9 million bottles per year, and is among the first Alto Adige coops to meet the challenges of sustainable agriculture.

Tramin is the cradle of Gewürztraminer, which has been cultivated here for more than a thousand years. The vines grow at medium-high elevations (around 300m to 450m for this wine), facing south/southeast for best exposure to the sun, and benefit from significant diurnal temperature swings with hot, sunny days and cool, breezy nights – the ideal environment for developing its distinctive, intense aromas.

WHAT THE EXPERTS SAY

“Delicate, aromatic style, with rosewater and honey scents and a hint of oiliness in its texture. The acidity balances it all, while a slightly pithy bitterness to the finish refreshes the palate.” (2018 vintage) 89 points
