Traminer Aromatico, also known as Gewürztraminer, is a white wine grape varietal known for its fragrant, aromatic qualities. It produces wines with a strong aroma profile of lychee, rose petals, and spices like ginger and cinnamon. The Traminer Aromatico varietal tends to be rich and opulent with a viscous, mouth-coating texture.
The wines produced from this varietal can range from bone dry to exceedingly sweet. In terms of color, the grapes themselves have a pinkish hue, which can give the resultant wine a slight copper tint. This varietal often produces wines with noticeably high alcohol levels and relatively low acidity.
Traminer Aromatico is believed to have originated in the village of Tramin in Italy's Alto Adige region, but it's now grown throughout the world, especially in regions like Alsace, France, Germany, and the cooler climatic regions of Australia and North America. It can be difficult to grow due to its low yields and susceptibility to various vine diseases.
This varietal is often enjoyed on its own due to its distinct, perfumed flavor profile, but it can also pair well with spicy Asian cuisine, roasted meats, strong cheeses, and fruity desserts.
