More questions
Tramin's Chardonnay Alto Adige DOC offers an elegant, restrained profile, suitable for those seeking a versatile white. In the glass it appears bright, with straw-yellow reflections; on the nose are notes of Golden apple, ripe pear, light citrus and a hint of white flowers. The palate is linear, fresh and sapid, with a balance between roundness and acidic tension that supports the sip without showiness. The finish is pleasant, not exaggerated. A clear aromatic purity makes it accessible and fitting for various occasions.
It is a wine best enjoyed young to appreciate its freshness, though it also suits those who prefer a few months' bottle rest to harmonize the aromas. It pairs with seafood antipasti, baked fish, delicate risottos and fresh cheeses; it's well suited to everyday meals and informal dinners. Serve at 10–12°C and pour into not-too-wide glasses to highlight its balance and fineness.

The story
Founded in 1898 by Christian Schrott as a cooperative project to support mountain winegrowers. Merged in 1971 with the Cantina Sociale of Egna; a quality-focused shift began in the 1990s with winemaker Willi Stürz. The winery premises were renovated and completed in 2010. The Epokale lineup was launched in 2018.
Production philosophy
Focus on quality and terroir expression: rigor, dedication, trust and creativity. Strong emphasis on aromatic varieties (notably Gewürztraminer) and on premium vineyard selections (Selezione range).
Terroir and vineyards
Vineyards concentrated around the municipality of Tramin and nearby sites (e.g. Söll/Sella, Nussbaumer, Mazzon, Glen). Total vineyard area cited on the website: ~270 ha; soils calcareous, gravelly and on porphyry; altitude in the area roughly 250–850 m. Some single-vineyard selections (Epokale) come from specific sites such as Nussbaumer and Söller Hof.

Among the awards and mentions: Stoan; recognitions such as "Tre Bicchieri" for the Gewürztraminer Nussbaumer; the Gewürztraminer Terminum singled out as Wine of the Year; citations in international competitions; and the wine Epokale awarded significant scores by the international press.
