Tramin T Cuvee Rosso

Winemaker Cantine Tramin on the winery

“We are Cantina Tramin, a cooperative of winegrowing families who have been preserving the wine tradition of South Tyrol together since 1898. From the village of Tramin in the Italian Alps, we work with grapes grown on our mountain slopes. The combination of warm, sunny days and cool nights gives our wines their distinctive character. We bring together generations of viticultural knowledge and a precise, modern approach to winemaking. Above all, we want our wines to express the character of our region and its grape varieties: wines with a clear sense of place, natural balance and plenty of drinking pleasure.”

And on Alto Adige, Italy

“Our T Cuvée Rosso comes from Alto Adige, where our vineyards grow at elevations of 250 to 550 metres on calcareous clay and gravel soils. We bring together three grape varieties: Schiava for its lightness and fruit, Pinot Nero for its elegance, and Merlot for added richness. After harvesting, we destem and gently crush the grapes. Fermentation takes place in stainless-steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 26–28 °C, followed by maturation in steel. This approach preserves the wine’s fresh fruit character, creating a smooth, lively red that can be served slightly chilled.”
