The wine

The Gewürztraminer Trentino DOC from Lavis embodies the excellence of the Trentino territory. Produced in particularly suitable vineyards located in the municipality of Lavis, this wine features a golden straw-yellow color and a delicate aromatic bouquet. The scents range from rose hip to citrus notes of cedar and lime, with an undertone of ginger. On the palate, the wine is full-flavored, with energetic notes of yellow flowers and acacia honey defining an elegant and complex taste. The acidity lingers in a tense and lasting finish. The winemaking process includes an 8-hour cryomaceration and fermentation in stainless steel tanks and French oak barriques. The wine is then aged on the lees for 10-12 months before bottling and further aged in the bottle for a minimum of 6 months. It pairs wonderfully with any kind of shellfish, white meats, and baked cheese.

Nowadays there are around 800 contributing members for around 750 hectares of vineyards with an altitude ranging from 200m to 800m guaranteeing organoleptic richness and variety; the fine and elegant white vines are grown in the mountains, while the intense and structured reds are grown in the hills. The wines of the Lavis and Valle di Cembra winery are a representation of the winemaking tradition that combines nature with technique in a mountain context unique in the world.
