History
The Gewürztraminer is one of the wines that made famous the wine region of South Tyrol throughout Italy. The extreme aromaticity and exciting structure make it such a unique wine.

Vineyards
The vineyard is in Termeno (Tramin), the hometown of the variety, on a slope with a South-West exposure and a calcareous soil. The grapes are of first-class quality.

Vinification
The grapes are pressed very slowly and carefully to let the wine remain in contact with the lees as long as possible, in order to allow all the strength of the grapes to pass into the wine.
