Gewürztraminer at its birthplace - Termeno
The spiritual home of Gewürztraminer, where the aromatic grape takes its name from Tramin in German. Steep terraced vineyards climb dramatic slopes under Dolomite peaks, producing wine here since at least the 11th century.

The cooperative miracle - how 190 families make 100-point wine together
In most of Italy, 'cooperative wine' means cheap bulk. In Alto Adige, cooperatives produce 74% of all wine — and they make the best in the region. Cantina Tramin is 190 families whose 2009 Epokale Gewürztraminer scored the first-ever 100 points for an Italian white. The secret: German discipline, tiny plots averaging 2 acres, yields 30% below DOC limits, and grading systems that reward quality over quantity.
