Acclaim
Top Pinot Noirs - Like many Alto Adige wine producers, Tramin is a cooperative of independent grape growers - 280 of them in this case - growing grapes on more than 550 acres of vineyards. This silky Pinot's light hue is deceptive: It's full of bright raspberry fruit, with fine tannins and a faint note of watermelon in the aroma.
