Serving Temperature of  White Wines: A Key Element to Enjoy Them 

A glass of white wine is sitting on top of a wooden barrel next to a bunch of grapes.

An interesting information from Naviganti Wine, Pescara, Italy, about
"Serving temperature of white wine - a key element to enjoy them."

Summer is the perfect season to enjoy relaxing moments outdoors, accompanied by a good glass of white wine. The demand for these wines is felt particularly during the warmer months, as their freshness and lightness make them perfect to combat temperatures and complete summer dishes. However, a frequently overlooked but fundamental element to enhance the characteristics of a white wine is the serving temperature. Let’s see why it is important and how to get the most out of wines like Pecorino, Passerina and Traminer. In our example, we present the result for Traminer.

The serving temperature greatly affects the tasting experience of a white wine. Serving it at the right temperature enhances the aromas and flavors, while a wrong service could frustrate the efforts of producers and compromise the pleasantness of the drink.
At too cold temperatures, the aromas and flavors can be blocked, making it difficult to grasp all the nuances. On the other hand, if the wine is served too hot, it could be too flat or too alcoholic.

Traminer: Spicy and aromatic
Traminer, is an aromatic white wine, rich in floral and spicy notes. In order to allow these aromas to fully express themselves, it is advisable to serve Traminer at a temperature between 50 ºC and 54 ºC. However, in order to experience a less lacking acidity even one degree less could make the difference, while to enhance the aromas of a more acidic wine at this point is fine a few degrees more. This wine pairs beautifully with slightly spicy dishes, Sushi and Asian cuisine.


Cheers to you with a correctly cooled down white wine!
Btw: We do carry a lot of excellent whites as well as an amazing German Gewurztraminer. Worth to give it a try!
