Tramin Chardonnay

Chardonnay Alto Adige DOC bottle image

Made from 100% Chardonnay from southern Alto Adige. After a gentle pressing, the must is clarified by natural sedimentation and fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Refined for five months in stainless steel, this is a fresh and flowery Chardonnay.
