In the glass
Aroma: white peach, yellow apple, fresh herbs, vanilla
Palate: stone fruit, creamy lees, saline minerality, spice
Cantina Tramin's flagship white blend of Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Bianco and Gewurztraminer from porphyry-limestone soils around Tramin. Full-bodied with creamy oak-aged texture and a saline mineral spine; aimed at long-haul cellaring.
What it pairs with
-
Risotto with porcini
The wine's full body and creamy lees character match risotto's richness; mushroom and herb notes echo earthy fungi. -
Pan-seared veal with sage
Stoan's stone fruit and spice register flatter white meat; oak ageing matches the sage butter. -
Lobster with drawn butter
The wine's saline minerality balances sweet shellfish while the texture meets the butter. -
Aged Trentino Grana
The cheese's umami punches through; the wine's acidity and saline minerality keep the pairing balanced.
History
Tramin launched Stoan in the early 2000s as the cellar's first multi-varietal white blend, sourcing Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Pinot Bianco and a touch of Gewurztraminer from the cooperative's best parcels. The name (Sudtirolean dialect for 'stone') references the porphyry-limestone soils of the upper Tramin slopes.
- 2002: First Stoan vintage released
- 2015: Gambero Rosso Tre Bicchieri awarded for the first time, cementing Stoan among South Tyrol's reference white blends
