The Gewürztraminer di San Michele Appiano was born from 100% Gewürztraminer grapes from individual vineyards located along the Alto Adige Wine Road, at an altitude between 300 and 500 metres above sea level. The vineyards of origin, with vines aged between 10 and 30 years, are gravelly-calcareous, with low clay content, and are exposed to the South/South-East. For this white with an enveloping character, the alcoholic fermentation took place in stainless steel as well as the refinement lasted a few months. Gewürztraminer or aromatic Traminer is a grape widely cultivated in Trentino Alto Adige as well as in Friuli Venezia Giulia. According to some interpreters, is a native of the area of Termeno (BZ) in Bassa Atesina. On the other hand, the name derives from the German words Gewürz, which translates into spicy, and Tramin which would stand for Termeno in German.
