Descrizione

This Gewurztraminer Spätlese from Tramin, Alto Adige DOC, presents an immediate and recognizable aromatic profile: notes of rose, lychee and ripe citrus emerge from the glass, accompanied by spicy hints and a contained, light sweetness. On the palate it shows medium body, a balance of softness and acidity, and a persistent aromatic texture recalling exotic fruit and petals. The expressive character remains measured, without excess, allowing a pleasant drinking experience both as an aperitif and with food.

To best enjoy it, serve cool at around 10–12 °C in generous glasses to appreciate the aromas. It pairs with fish in delicate sauces, shellfish, mildly spiced Asian dishes and soft cheeses; it can also accompany fruit-based desserts. It is advisable to open the bottle shortly before serving to preserve its aromatic liveliness. Short-term storage in a cool cellar; for other needs consult the retailer.

Winery history

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.
