The Gewurztraminer Alto Adige DOC from Cantina Girlan is an exemplary representation of the vinicultural excellence of this aromatic variety in the Alto Adige region. This white wine is characterized by its intensely aromatic profile and a complexity that seduces both the nose and the palate.
To the eye, it presents a bright golden yellow color, which precedes the opulent scents that characterize this variety. On the nose, notes of rose petals, lychee, exotic spices, and a subtle undertone of ripe, yellow-fleshed fruit immediately emerge, clearly expressing the unique terroir of this alpine area.
On the palate, Girlan's Gewurztraminer is rich and enveloping. The palate is caressed by a balanced sweetness, which integrates perfectly with the lively acidity, typical of wines from this region. The flavors echo the aromatic bouquet, with additions of honey and a lingering freshness that entices another sip.
Vinification is carefully managed to preserve the varietal characteristics and aromatic intensity. Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature, followed by a short period of maturation in stainless steel, to best conserve the freshness and aromas of the wine.
Perfect as an aperitif, the Gewurztraminer Alto Adige DOC from Cantina Girlan also pairs splendidly with spicy foods, exotic dishes, or blue cheeses. It is a wine that can easily become the centerpiece of a meal or a moment of conviviality, offering a rich and unforgettable sensory experience.
In summary, this Gewurztraminer is an authentic expression of the variety and the territory, presented by Cantina Girlan with a mastery that reflects the passion and experience in creating high-profile wines.

Winery history
Founded in 1923 by an initial group of growers who chose an ancient 16th-century farmhouse in Cornaiano, the winery has evolved into a cooperative bringing together about 200 families. The ancient underground cellars and historic buildings coexist with modern facilities: harvesting and winemaking are managed with care for each individual vineyard to highlight local specificities.
Production philosophy
The winery aims to showcase historic local varieties and to interpret international varieties in a way that reflects the local terroir. Sustainability is central: targeted agronomic practices, reduced use of mineral fertilizers, energy-saving measures and the introduction of lighter bottles to reduce emissions.
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards are located mainly in the Oltradige and the Bassa Atesina, on morainic and porphyric soils. Some crus and sites mentioned include Gschleier, Plattenriegl, Montiggl and Mazon, known for their diversity of exposure and soil.
Awards and recognitions
The winery and individual wines have received national and international recognition: for example, the Trattmann Pinot Noir Riserva has been listed among wines awarded "3 Bicchieri" by Gambero Rosso for consecutive years; the Vigna Ganger Pinot Noir Riserva has received very high scores from Wine Advocate; the Gschleier Alte Reben Vernatsch has been highlighted by Decanter among notable wines.
