Tramin Nussbaumer

Wine Description

Few realize that Alto Adige is the spiritual home of Gewürztraminer (which translates as “spice carrier” for its spicy, exotic notes) and it has been a hallmark offering at Tramin since it was founded one hundred and twenty years ago. Today, the grapes are sourced from vineyards in Montan and Tramin, where this grape is known to produce wines of particularly high caliber.

Acclaim
“One of the iconic bottles of this estate, the Cantina Tramin 2020 Alto Adige Gewürztraminer Nussbaumer shows a ripe fruit character with sweet acacia and ginestra followed by passion fruit and lychee. Aged 10 months in stainless steel, there is an exotic quality with a rich, full-bodied texture that wraps thickly over the palate. We are starting to see high alcohol levels from this part of Italy, and this wine clocks in at 15%. The finish is on the heavy and creamy side.”
— Wine Advocate, Dec 2022
“Medium yellow; textbook aromas of lanolin, yellow roses and yellow peaches. Medium-full with ripe, slightly lush fruit, very good acidity, impressive complexity and very good persistence; the finish offers notes of apricot and peach. Another excellent example of this iconic wine from this producer.”
— Tom Hyland's Guide to Italian Wines, Mar 2022
