Of all the white grape varieties grown in the Valle Isarco, the one that is most suited for creating a "passito" dessert wine is certainly the Traminer Aromatico. The fully ripened grapes are left to dry naturally for 5 months. During this period, the weight of the grapes is reduced to less than half while its sugar content increases. After pressing, the sugar content reaches about 38% which gives this wine its enjoyable alcohol content and that pleasingly fruity taste of the sugar residue.

Our Gewürztraminer is counted among the most popular wines in South Tyrol. It has a straw-yellow to golden hue, is an aromatic and full-bodied white wine with a light to somewhat stronger nose and pleasantly dry, lightly spicy character. In addition to spice, nuances of rose and lychee add to the bouquet.
