Pale, green-tinged yellow. Perfumed, fresh aromas of bright grapefruit, gooseberry and melon complicated by lemon zest and sage. The palate offers open-knit citrus and nectarine flavors with strong herbal and floral undertones. Finishes smooth and shapely, with sneaky concentration for an entry-level wine. Well done.

Overt chive and lemon zest aromas and flavors mix with hints of white peach, star fruit and stone in this tangy white. Drink now.

I love this wine! The last few vintages the quality of Alto Adige wines have been awesome, maybe it's Global Warming melting the glaciers! This SVB has the classic grassy nose but with a background of melon and white flower making it easier to match with a broader variety of dishes. On the palate the wine has very good weight making it an ideal cocktail wine and still carries excellent acidity highlighting the salty tang. Perfect for grilled salmon, goat cheese appetizers or Asian cuisine.

Notes

"It's hard to go wrong with any of these wines from Tramin, one of the best and most consistent wineries in Italy," says Antonio Galloni in Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, and we have to agree. Tramin's Sauvignon is flush with varietal character--herbaceous, floral and kicking with tangy gooseberry and stone fruit. Delicious with the region's smoky speck!
