Traminer Aromatico – Forchir – 2023

Traminer Aromatico Wine from the Forchir Winery

The Traminer Aromatico wine by Forchir winery comes from 100% Traminer grapes grown in the vineyards of the Forchir winery, located in the DOC Friuli area, which is well-suited for Friulian wine production.

The Traminer berry, which is pink in colour, is native to Alto Adige. Forchir has been producing this wine since its inception, achieving great success. It is a unique and distinctive wine that captivates with its aromatic profile, intense, flavour, and consistent quality.

THE WINEMAKING

The Forchir winery conducts the grape harvest at night, allowing the grapes to arrive at the cellar during the coolest hours of the day. This practice ensures that the grapes can be processed at low temperatures, which is crucial for preserving their aromatic profile.

The harvest occurs in August. After careful selection, the grapes go to the cellar, where the winemaking process begins with a gentle pressing. The must then ferments in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature of 12°C. The wine ages in these tanks for a varying period, depending on the vintage. Once ready, the wine is blended and bottled and rests for a few months in the cellar.

Tasting the wine by Forchir

This wine has a deep straw yellow colour. On the nose, it reveals intense aromas of pineapple and lychee, followed by subtle hints of ripe pear, apricot, and peach. There are also floral notes of rose, along with herbaceous hints and spicy sensations of ginger and thyme. On the palate, the Traminer Aromatico di Forchir is pleasantly soft, offering a fresh and savoury experience with a long, persistent finish.
