GEWURZTRAMINER Gewürztraminer is the most international among all the Italian wines  Common wine in Italy, Germany and France and in the past was known with several names due to the different translations: in France it was called traminer musqué, traminer parfumé, or traminer aromatique; in Germany roter traminer; and in Italy traminer rosé, traminer rosso, or termener aromatico. In the late 19th century, the Alsatians began calling this wine gewürztraminer where "gewürz" is translated from the Germans as "spicy".PRODUCTION SITES: Native from Termeno (near Bolzano) is now commonly produced in the areas of South Tyrol and Überetsch in the Bolzano valley basin, Adige Valley, and Meran. COLOUR: The dark pink colour of its grapes results in wines coloured from light to dark golden yellow with a straw-like colour, depending upon the fruit ripeness. AROMA: The combination of its strong, heady, perfumery scent, exotic lychee fruits flavour and heavy-oily texture can be overwhelming to many palates. TASTE: The name of this wine comes from the German “spiced” as for the mixture of different tastes.

It is particularly good as a dessert wine.
