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.
