T Red Cuvée – 2024

Cantina Tramin – T Cuvée Red

The T Cuvée Red 2024 from Cantina Tramin is a light red wine from the renowned Tramin winery, made from the Vernatsch, Merlot, and Pinot Noir grape varieties. The T Red is a special cuvée that reflects the lightness of South Tyrolean Vernatsch, the fruitiness of South Tyrolean Pinot Noir, and the full-bodied nature of Merlot. It is a synthesis of the tradition and history of South Tyrolean wine. In the glass, the T Rosso presents a ruby red color and a fruity bouquet. The T Cuvée Rosso is an elegant red wine that can be served with typical Tyrolean dishes, as well as light meat courses and pasta dishes.

Cantina Tramin | Vinification

The mild winter of the 2024 wine year with sufficient precipitation, along with a warm March that was also blessed with rain, ensured early bud break for the vines. Subsequently, apart from a few early summer days in April, it remained rather cool and damp until the end of June. The summer was warm with many hours of sunshine, and a rainy autumn extended the vegetation period of the grapes. Overall, 2024 was a challenging year for wine that required many extra hours of work in the vineyard. Thanks to the consistent implementation of their quality philosophy, the experience of the winemakers, and the cooperation within the cooperative, Cantina Tramin was able to harvest grape material of remarkable quality, especially for the white varieties and Pinot Noir. Thus, the white wines of the 2024 vintage arrive in the glass delicate and fresh, while the reds are characterized in particular by the elegance of the Pinot Noir.

The vines for this Cantina Tramin cuvée grow on calcareous, clayey to gravelly-loam soils on hillsides at altitudes between 250 and 550 meters above sea level, where they are exposed to strong temperature fluctuations between day and night. The grapes were harvested at the time of optimal physiological maturity and transported to the winery building in small containers. There, the mash is fermented in steel tanks at a controlled temperature (20 – 22°C). Maturation and storage also take place in steel tanks.
