Tramin Stoan

Stoan Alto Adige DOC bottle image

Wine Description

The name of this exotic Alto Adige blend refers to the stony soil in which the grapes are grown, which in local dialect is referred to as "stoan." This aromatic white wine is made from Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Sauvignon Blanc, and Gewürztraminer grapes which are blended together and fermented in large oak barrels before being refined an additional seven months before bottling.

Acclaim
“The 2015 Alto Adige Stoan is a very satisfying blend of 65% Chardonnay with 20% Sauvignon, 10% Pinot Bianco and 5% Gewürztraminer. The wine achieves pretty balance, based primarily on the robust and creamy nature of the Chardonnay that serves as the wine's foundation. Upon that solid base, it offers bright floral intensity that comes from the Sauvignon and that small part of Gewürztraminer. The Pinot Bianco serves as the glue that binds these elements together with seamless transitions. The 2015 vintage was a bit warmer than average and there is extra richness and texture as a result. This is an excellent Italian white.”
— Monica Larner, Aug 2017
“Deep straw color. Rich, profound aromas of papaya, apple, nectarine, dried herbs and sweet spices. Then similar flavors to the aromas and very good balance, with a peppery mouthcoating thickness and richness on the long aftertaste that features a strong note of grapefruit. A blend of mostly Chardonnay (60%), plus Sauvignon Blanc, Gewürztraminer, and Pinot Bianco.”
