Wine Description

Tramin has brilliantly crafted an elegant white wine made from 100% Sauvignon Blanc from Tramin and Montan, two historical and renowned winemaking districts in the Alto Adige region. Sipping this expressive, terroir-driven wine is the next best thing to being able to frolic in the rolling green meadows of the majestic Dolomite landscape.

Acclaim
The 2009 Sauvignon is another clean, steely white from Tramin. Scents of tomato leaf, mint and sage that are representative of Sauvignon, lead to clean white peaches, all wrapped around a mid-weight, energetic frame. This, too, offers wonderful balance.
