Traminer

the variety is quite homogeneous both in the pink and in the aromatic type, derived most likely from the white Traminer by bud mutation in quite recent times. The bud has an expanded, downy, green-white apex with pinkish shades. The leaf is small-sized, roundish, three-lobed, or more rarely five-lobed, with very marked lobes, and has a bulbous, dark green, opaque, almost hairless flap. The petiolar sinus is closed and V-shaped, the underside is fluffy. The cluster is small, truncated-conical, often with short wings, and can be compact or semi-compact. The berry is medium-sized, spheroid and grey-pink. The thick and pruinose skin encloses a fleshy pulp, with an aromatic, distinct taste.

vine of good vigour with upright growth habit, though a little chaotic. Robust and ramified shoots, medium internodes. Adaptable to high hilly areas; in the plain it gives a good product only in stony or very loose soils, not calcareous and in any case in temperate-cool climates.

suitable for systems of medium expansion; it prefers medium-to-long pruning to well-set shoots by appropriate green pruning to avoid vegetative fatigue. For these reasons, integral mechanization is difficult to achieve.

average for cryptogams, except for botrytis. Quite resistant to winter cold, but not to late frosts. Susceptible to ferric chlorosis.

it produces a straw-yellow wine, quite alcoholic, intensely aromatic, velvety, soft, fine, with a characteristic rose aroma.
