Traminer Aromatico is a white wine grape variety that originates from Italy, specifically from the region of Trentino-Alto Adige. It is also known as Gewürztraminer in many parts of the world. The name translates to "spice traminer", referring to its distinctive, highly aromatic profile.
This grape variety is known for producing richly flavored, full-bodied wines with high natural sweetness. The nose and palate of Traminer Aromatico wines are often characterized by intense notes of lychee, rose petals, perfume, spice, and sometimes a hint of smokiness. Despite the strong flavors, these wines usually have a softer, often off-dry finish due to their lower acidity.
Traminer Aromatico grapes prefer cooler climates and grow well on rocky hillside vineyards. They are also known to be quite challenging to cultivate as they require careful handling to maintain their delicate aromas. The grapes have a pink-reddish skin when fully ripe and are usually harvested in late October.
