Discover the elegance and complexity of Tramin Unterebner Pinot Grigio from Alto Adige, a wine that truly embodies the unique Alpine freshness and character of Northern Italy's renowned wine region. Produced by Cantina Tramin-one of Alto Adige's most distinguished cooperatives, with over a century of winemaking heritage-this Pinot Grigio is crafted from select vineyards perched on sun-drenched, south-facing slopes between 400 and 600 metres above sea level. The interplay of sunny Mediterranean days and cool mountain nights creates the perfect conditions for a long hang-time, allowing the grapes to develop a remarkable depth of flavour while retaining vibrant acidity. Matured in large French oak barrels and tonneaux, and aged further in bottle, the resulting wine is celebrated for its refined complexity, mineral character, and exquisite balance.
