From Cortina sulla Strada del Vino, in the province of Bolzano, Trentino-Alto Adige. The grapes undergo cold maceration, a crucial step in bringing out the most aromatic side of the grape. Fermentation with indigenous yeasts then takes place: greater complexity and character. The result is a super-aromatic Gewürztraminer: spicy, sweet, and muscadine notes, with hints of flowers, cloves, and rose petals. On the palate, it stands out for its soft acidity, which creates freshness and, at the same time, a lovely body. Contains sulphites.

The producer
The family business Peter Zemmer KG is one of the oldest wineries in the Alto Adige, a winegrowing region whose tradition was already famed during the period of the Roman emperors since wine, culture, and art have been here closely intertwined throughout history. The valley floor around Cortina and the wide selection of grape varieties are as varied as the landscape, a fact which has brought special praise to winemaking in the Lowlands throughout the centuries. The wealth of varietals is without a doubt due to the climatic conditions which are especially favourable to the grapes. The wide variety of planting locations and grape varieties and the expert management of the proprietor, Helmuth Zemmer, with his sons at his side, result in a broad range of full-bodied red wines and a diverse palette of top-cru white wines.
