Tramin

Pinot Grigio

This is a richly styled Pinot Grigio produced from low-yielding vineyards in the Alto Adige DOC. The vineyards, located at the foothills of the Dolomite mountains, enjoy warm days and cool nights.  These conditions preserve the wine’s acidity and freshness and produce a well-balanced wine with great length on the finish.

Tasting Notes

Bright yellow in color with coppery reflections and clear fruit aromas of pear, citrus, honeysuckle, tropical fruits and light spices. Firm, velvety and rich on the palate, with well-integrated acidity. A very round and satisfying wine.

Food Pairing

Recommended with fish antipasti, risotto with asparagus, omelets and pasta.
