Tramin Pinot Grigio
Wine Description
This is a richly styled Pinot Grigio produced from low-yielding vineyards in the Alto Adige DOC. The vineyards, located at the foothills of the Dolomite mountains, enjoy warm days and cool nights. These conditions preserve the wine’s acidity and freshness and produce a well-balanced wine with great length on the finish.
