Bottega Vinai Gewurtzraminer

Bottega Vinai Gewürztraminer, Trentino DOC 2025
CAVIT TRENTINO, ITALY
PRODUCTION
The Valle dei Laghi is wedged between mountains at the foot of the Dolomites, to the north of Lake 
Garda. The climate is sub-Mediterranean. The Gewurztraminer grape prefers soils which are well
structured, loose and not lime-rich. It is not very productive, but in the right site gives consistently 
excellent quality. Yields are maintained at around 80- 90 tonnes per hectare. Bunches are small, 
compact, winged and when ripe have an intense pink colour. The grapes are hand-harvested, carefully 
selected, destalked and crushed. The must remains in contact with the skins for a short time at 5-6 
degrees C to allow aromas to be extracted. The grapes are soft-pressed to prevent colour extraction 
from the skins - which are a copper colour when ripe. After fermentation in stainless steel, the wine is 
left in tank for 4-5 months before bottling.
 
TASTING NOTE
Intense rose petal and lychee aromas typical of the grape, with hints of ginger, citrus peel and 
honeysuckle. Ripe and aromatic, with exotic fruit on the palate, zesty citrus acidity, and floral 
characters - leading to a long, rich, full and spicy finish.
 
FOOD MATCH
Matches well with seafood canapes, light Thai style fish and vegetable dishes, or will stand up to white 
meat in creamier sauces also
