Tramin Pinot Noir
Wine Description
Tramin discovered early on that the finicky Pinot Nero really prospered in the cool-moderate microclimate of the southern Alto Adige region. Made entirely from Pinot Nero (elsewhere known as Pinot Noir), which is perfected in a combination of stainless steel, barriques and large casks, this wine is illustrative of why Tramin continues to be ranked as “Tre Bicchieri” (3-stars) by Gambero Rosso.
