Wine Description

Tramin has brilliantly crafted an elegant white wine made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Tramin and Montan, two historic and renowned winemaking districts in the Alto Adige region.

Acclaim
“This gorgeous Sauvignon stands apart thanks to the creaminess and richness it offers in the mouth. That extra density is backed by bright aromas of peach, white flower, exotic fruit and dried sage.” Editors' Choice.
