Tramin : Unterebner Pinot Grigio 2020

The depth and mineral framework of a Trentino Alto-Adige white wine

The estate

Cantina Tramin, one of Italy's oldest and most prestigious wine cooperatives, is located in the heart of Trentino-Alto Adige, in the hills of South Tyrol.

With more than 250 hectares of vineyards, Tramin's history is the result of the passion of more than 300 winegrowing families, united by a common ambition to produce top-quality wines from Trentino-Alto Adige.

The vineyard

Tramin's Unterebner Pinot Grigio 2020 stems from vineyards placed at an altitude of 400 to 600 metres. This Trentino-Alto Adige wine comes from vineyards aged between 10 and 30 years, set in rocky, clay-limestone soil.

The vintage

This Alto Adige wine comes from a vintage that had a dry winter and a cool March. This period preceded a spring with above-average temperatures, resulting in early budburst and flowering. May was marked by heavy rainfall into June. There were a few sunny days during the ripening period.

Winemaking and ageing

After harvesting, the grapes were gently pressed before fermentation in oak barrels. The wine was aged for a total of 14 months, on its lees and in barrels, before ageing for 3 months in bottle before being released on the market.

Grape variety

Pinot Gris (100%)
