'Rungg' Tramin 2020

The Rungg is an international-style red that expresses a typically territorial profile, maintaining the elegant freshness typical of Alto Adige wines. The Cantina Tramin brings together about 300 winemakers who work with great passion and expertise to create the region's excellences. This is how the famous Tramin labels are born, with the desire to give voice to a land of ancient traditions and remarkable potential. The Rungg is a blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Cabernet Franc, three Bordeaux grape varieties that have acclimatized well for centuries in the warmer areas of the Bassa Atesina.

Rungg comes from vineyards cultivated on the sunny hills located south of the village of Termeno, at an altitude of about 300 meters above sea level, on gravelly soils rich in clay. After the manual harvest of the grapes, during the peak ripening periods of each variety, fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature of 26 °C, with frequent pump-overs. For the maturation of the wines, both French barriques and large oak casks are used. After blending, the wine is bottled and finishes aging with a few months in the cellar before being put on sale.

The Rungg from Tramin is a Bordeaux-style blend, which, thanks to a moderate and non-invasive use of wood, keeps the pleasant fruit fragrance alive, always prevailing over the tertiary aging notes. It is perfect for those who love complexity without wanting to give up the primary aromas of the grape, for those who prefer full-bodied reds that are smooth and easy to drink. In the glass, it presents a bright ruby color. The aromas are pleasantly fresh, primarily highlighting the fruity and wine-like notes. The sip is lively, savory, and juicy, crisp and fresh. A bottle suitable for rich and flavorful first courses, roasts, or small game.
