The newly rebuilt and refurbished winery in Tramin was completed in January 2010, designed by the famous architect Werner Tscholl.

The idea which gave birth to the project was based on the vine, its morphology and its role in the local countryside. It has become an emblem which draws from the soil thanks to the expert hands of the winegrowers. In the case of the winery, it envelopes the building in which it is accommodated. Consequently the fabric becomes a sculpture, a work which announces the cellars' presence and mission. Its iconographic impact is connected with the environment and the building blends a combination of strikingly differing materials - metal, cement and glass - making the edifice a major landmark in Tramin, especially as it is situated at the entrance to the village.

Werner Tscholl was born in 1955 in the village of Latsch in South Tyrol's western valley system. He studied architecture in Florence and in 1983 he established his own architecture company at Morter near Latsch. Perhaps his most famous work is the Messner Mountain Museum skilfully accommodated in the ruins of Sigmundskron Castle on the outskirts of Bolzano.

Wine tip - the Gewürztraminer

The bewitching character of this kind of grape can be seen in its intensive bright and straw-like yellow appearance. When decanted this wine has a particular bouquet of rose leaves, cinnamon, tropically matured fruits and cloves. These easily distinguishable aromas and clear spicy overtones originate from the heavy clay gravel soil and the sun-drenched location of Söll, near Tramin, the highest area cultivated in our small village. One of our favourite dishes to go with this wine is nicely matured soft cheese and pate defoie gras.
