TASTING NOTES
The Aromatic Traminer is the best known South Tyrolean wine. It seems that the vine originates from Termeno (Tramin), the town from which it takes its name. This aromatic wine, produced with carefully cultivated grapes on the steep slopes at 600 m a.s.l. surrounding Bolzano, fascinates with its intense and persistent fruity and floral scents and thanks to a light spicy note. The harvest for this 2020 took place between the end of September and the beginning of October. A short cold maceration, followed by soft pressing and a temperature-controlled fermentation in steel, guarantee a complex and aromatic wine. The color is intense straw yellow with golden reflections. On the nose it is aromatic, with hints of roses, lychees, grapefruit, lime, light notes of orange peel, cloves and cinnamon. The taste is full, complex, soft, with a good freshness. It is ideal in combination with shellfish, spicy dishes of Asian cuisine, fresh and semi-aged cheeses.

Guido Folonari has always been in love with Südtirol, its wines, vineyards and landscapes. Right there in South Tyrol he has decided to realize his last winemaking dream called Winzerberg (Winegrowers' Mountain). Folonari has selected five small winemakers, owners of as many vineyard, with totally different “terroirs”. South Tyrol is a small jewel of the Italian wine scene, with a truly unique pedoclimatic environment, where wines of extreme elegance and complexity are born. The love for the care of the vineyard and the skillful hand of Stephan Filippi, a South Tyrolean winemaker with a great personality, have given life to seven wines that reflect the character and origin of the territory.
