Tramin Nussbaumer Gewurztraminer 2024

Tramin Nussbaumer Gewürztraminer is a benchmark aromatic white wine from Trentino-Alto Adige, capturing the distinctive character of Alto Adige in a concentrated, elegant style. Made from Gewürztraminer (Traminer Aromatico) grapes grown in one of the region’s most prized vineyard sites, it combines intensity, finesse, and a long, memorable finish. It also carries the prestige of one of South Tyrol’s most iconic wines, long associated with Cantina Tramin’s reputation for precision and quality.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows a bright, luminous golden hue that hints at its richness and aromatic depth. The nose is highly expressive, opening with rose petals, scented white flowers, ripe exotic fruit, and citrus zest, then unfolding into warm spice notes of cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, ginger, and a touch of saffron. On the palate, it is full-bodied, juicy, and fresh at the same time, with a marked mineral backbone that keeps the wine focused and vibrant. The finish is exceptionally persistent, and the wine has excellent ageing potential, developing added complexity and nuance over time in bottle.

Production
This wine comes from the village of Sella, near Termeno, at the foot of Mount Roen, where the vines are planted between 350 and 550 meters above sea level with south and southeast exposure. The terroir is defined by morainic soils of calcareous gravel and clay over a porphyry base, while the mountain climate brings strong day-night temperature differences and the cooling afternoon Ora breeze from Lake Garda, helping preserve freshness and aromatic clarity. Harvesting is done by hand in September and October, with the grapes placed in small containers before a short cold maceration, gentle pressing, and slow fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine then matures on the lees in stainless steel until the end of August and is completed with a final rest in bottle, for a total ageing period of at least fourteen months.

Food & Serving
Tramin Nussbaumer Gewürztraminer pairs beautifully with aromatic Asian cuisine, spiced seafood dishes, shellfish, foie gras, mature soft cheeses, and rich poultry preparations. Serve it chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and decanting is generally not necessary unless you want to give the wine a little more room to open up in its youth.

Producer
Cantina Tramin was founded in 1898 and has become one of the most respected cooperatives in Alto Adige, known for producing wines that reflect the region’s unique mountain terroir with clarity and style. Guided by winemaking talent such as Willi Stürz, the winery has built a strong reputation for expressive, highly precise whites, and Nussbaumer is one of its flagship wines. It is widely regarded as a reference point for Gewürztraminer in Italy and has earned notable critical acclaim, including a 93/100 score from James Suckling for the 2023 vintage.
