A grape variety of uncertain origin. Conflicting opinions exist about its origin: some say that it comes from the Tyrol, others from Alsace, whereas others believe it comes from the Rhine area. What is certain, however, is that this grape variety has its origin in vine-growing areas in high latitudes.
In Italy, the predominant regions growing this grape variety are Trentino Alto Adige and Friuli-Venezia Giulia, where Traminer has perfectly adapted to the soils, the climate and exposure to the sun, producing excellent results.
