Description
Gewurztraminer Nussbaumer Tramin is a prestigious white wine produced in the Trentino-Alto Adige region of Italy. This region is renowned for its high-quality wine production, thanks to its cool climate and mineral-rich hills. The wine is named after the Gewurztraminer grape variety, a type of white grape native to the region. The term "Nussbaumer" refers to the Nussbaumer estate, where the grapes are grown. This estate is located in the municipality of Tramin, from which the wine takes its full name. The vineyards of the Nussbaumer estate are situated on steep, south-facing slopes at an altitude of 350-550 meters above sea level. This position offers excellent sun exposure, which is essential for the ripening of Gewurztraminer grapes. The soil is mainly composed of clay and sand, with a good presence of minerals. The production of Gewurztraminer Nussbaumer Tramin begins with the grape harvest, which usually takes place in mid-October. The grapes are then gently pressed, and the resulting must is left to ferment at a controlled temperature in large stainless steel tanks. After fermentation, the wine is left to mature on the lees for several months to enrich its aromatic bouquet. The wine is aged in the bottle, where it continues to evolve and develop its complex aromas and flavors. The result is a white wine of great structure and intensity, with aromatic notes of rose, lychee, and exotic spices, and a full, enveloping, and persistent taste. Gewurztraminer Nussbaumer Tramin pairs perfectly with fish dishes, white meats, and aged cheeses. It is also an excellent meditation wine, to be savored slowly to appreciate all its nuances.
