The barrique-aged Cantina Tramin 2016 Alto Adige Chardonnay Riserva Troy is a real beauty. This wine will appeal to enthusiasts of a contemporary school of Chardonnay in which the purity and sharpness of the fruit trumps all the other influences added at the winery. Fruit is drawn from two sites (together measuring about one hectare) at a high 500 to 550 meters above sea level. Only 4,300 bottles were released, and the 2016 vintage represents the wine's second release (after 2015). The bouquet is redolent of Meyer lemon, peach and bitter almond. The word Troy means "pathway" in the local language, and this wine does indeed lead you to a pure, mountain-fresh interpretation of Chardonnay. ... More details

This is a rich, exuberant chardonnay with tons of mango dessert, peach pie, dried-pear tart and vanilla. Very round and oily on the palate with lots of banoffee pie and yogurt. Perhaps a touch less could have been more. Drink now.

Rated 91 by Wine Spectator
A fresh, graceful white, showing pleasing snappiness to the acidity, which frames flavors of ripe melon, peach skin and saline-laced mineral. Abundantly aromatic, with honeysuckle, lime blossom and ground spice notes running from start to lingering finish. Chardonnay. Drink now through 2026. 350 cases made, 15 cases imported.

Varietal: Chardonnay

Despite having its origins in western France, Chardonnay's immense popularity and flexibility quickly meant that before long, there wasn't a wine producing country in the world which wasn't investing in this fascinating and versatile grape varietal. Today, Chardonnays manage to win fine wine competitions and satisfy supermarket shoppers simultaneously, due to the fact that this grape varietal can take on many characteristics and features of where it is grown and how it is handled. Indeed, this green skinned grape is renowned for not having so much unique flavor within the fruit, but is very sensitive to the features of the terroir it is grown in, as well as to aging As such, it isn't unusual to find bottles of single variety Chardonnay wine described as holding notes of white stone, mountain waters, or other such geological features alongside the more predictable fruit descriptions This makes Chardonnay grape varietal wines an exciting world to delve into – full of surprises, full of delights.

Region: Trentino/Alto Adige

The northernmost Italian wine region of Trentino-Alto Adige has been producing unique and characterful wines for centuries, and is today widely considered to be the home of Italy's finest white wines, and several outstanding red wines, too. The region itself is quite unlike any other in Italy, as a large Germanic population and the proximity to other European countries has led to a range of interesting influences on the viticulture of Trentino-Alto Adige. The result is a range of wines made with native and imported grape varietals which are packed full of beautiful alpine flavors, and white wines which have all the crispness and dryness of the finest German wines. Trentino-Alto Adige is a region where traditional practices reign supreme, and it is heartening to see that most of the region's output still comes from relatively small, independent family run wineries, dedicated to the quality and uniqueness of their produce.

Country: Italy

Italy is recognised as being one of the finest wine producing countries in the world, and it isn't difficult to see why. With a vast amount of land across the country used primarily for vineyard cultivation and wine production, each region of Italy manages to produce a wide range of excellent quality wines, each representative of the region it is produced in. Any lover of Italian wines will be able to tell you of the variety the country produces, from the deliciously astringent and alpine-fresh wines of the northern borders, to the deliciously jammy and fruit-forward wines of the south and the Italian islands. Regions such as Barolo are frequently compared with Bordeaux and Burgundy in France, as their oak aged red wines have all the complexity and earthy, spicy excellence of some of the finest wines in the world, and the sparkling wines of Asti and elsewhere in Italy can easily challenge and often exceed the high standards put forward by Champagne. Thanks to excellent terrain and climatic conditions, Italy has long since proven itself a major player in the world of wines, and long may this dedication to quality and excellence continue.
