Cantina Tramin, Sudtirol-Alto Adige, Chardonnay 2008, $12.99-$15.39
Cantina Tramin, established in 1898, is a cooperative winery with 290 grower members and a very talented winemaker, Willi Stürz. This fetching chardonnay shows bright citrus and pineapple fruit with a wisp of stony minerality. Its pure and focused fruit will be a righteous partner for scallops sautéed in lemon butter.
Sudtirol and Alto Adige refer to the same region in northwestern Italy, in different languages. Italians call it Alto Adige; in German it’s called Sudtirol. This area was Austrian, but was ceded to Italy after World War I.
