Cantina Tramin Alto Adige Moriz Pinot Bianco 2024

91 points Wine Advocate
The basic philosophy of this wine is to offer ease-in-drinking, accessibility and a distinct Alpine identity. Achieving those goals, the Cantina Tramin 2024 Alto Adige Pinot Bianco Moriz is a crisp and energetic wine with sharp citrusy flavors, pear and crushed stone. There is a salty side to this ample production of 70,000 bottles that makes it especially food friendly. It matures in botte grande (80% of the total) and in stainless steel (20%) for seven months. Fruit is sourced from over 9.5 hectares on clay and gravel soils, with vines at 400 to 600 meters above sea level for extra freshness and brightness.

Moriz Pinot Bianco is sourced from vineyards planted between 250 and 550 meters on calcareous clay and gravel soils. The name of this wine refers to St. Mauritius, the patron saint of the small hamlet of Sella, above Tramin. Moriz Pinot Bianco shows a silvery-yellow hue with green highlights. The nose is fresh and restrained with light aromas of apple blossom, pear and wet stone. On the palate, the Pinot Bianco shows its inherent fleshiness, while demonstrating the laser focus, pure fruit aroma and minerality associated with Italy's Alto Adige. Aromas of green apple and ripe Bosc pear blend with racy acidity and texture from lees ageing and gentle oak exposure. The finish is long, well-defined and dry. 13.5% abv
