Mostly chardonnay with gewurztraminer making a strong impression on the nose. There's also sauvignon and pinot bianco, too. This has an alluring lychee and rosewater perfume, as well as aromas and flavors of peaches and melon in a smooth chassis. This is a stylish, attractive and flavorsome blend. Drink now.

Closed with a glass cork, the 2016 Alto Adige Stoan is a blend of 65% Chardonnay with 20% Sauvignon Blanc, 10% Pinot Bianco and 5% Gewürztraminer with an aromatic emphasis on the fragrant varieties. I just love these blended whites from Northern Italy, and Cantina Tramin does a fine job in this cooler vintage. This wine gives it all: fragrance, elegance, texture and long fruity flavors. Bottle production is large (at 55,000 units), and the price tag is more than reasonable. I highly recommend this blended white. - Monica Larner

This lovely, medium-bodied white is framed by bright acidity, well-meshed to the layered flavors of poached apricot, apple blossom and pastry cream, with a delicate skein of graphite, ground spice and mineral that unwinds on the lasting finish. Drink now through 2026. – AN
