An aromatic white grape vine, it is known for the gray veil that covers its bunches and takes its name from the union of the German term Gewürz, which means "spice", and the town of Tramin (Termeno), from which the the ancient vine that gave rise to the variety we know today. In fact, the original Traminer, known in Alto Adige since the Middle Ages, would have spread through the Rhine valley from the Palatinate to Alsace, where its latest mutation would have acquired its current name and form.

The wine to which this vine gives life is an intense straw yellow tending towards gold, with an enveloping aromatic complement characterized by aromas of rose petals, carnations, litchis and tropical fruits, which seduces with its full and soft taste and which it lends itself to the most daring combinations: from dishes based on ginger and curry of Middle Eastern and Asian cuisine, to shellfish, up to foie gras and blue cheeses, for wines made from botrytised grapes (called Sélection de Grains Nobles, in Alsace ) or harvested late. A classic that goes with absolutely everything.
