Intensely aromatic, exactly as the grape promises: rose petal and yellow peach lead, with candied pear and a lift of apricot behind. Cantina Puiatti's own note calls out peach, candied pear and roses, and Vivino's 135 reviewers settle on rosebud and yellow peach. With no oak and four months on the lees in steel, the perfume is left clean and unmasked.

- Taste profile
Light-bodied and dry, with the tangy freshness the producer describes as taut and perfectly dry. The fruit reads as fresh stone fruit and pear rather than anything sweet, while the gravel and iron-rich red clay at Zuccole lend a clean, saline edge. Alcohol is gentle at 12.5%.
The close is crisp and clean rather than long, its lees-built texture carrying a tangy lift of rosebud and citrus before it refreshes away.
An honest, well-made aromatic white from the Isonzo plain that Vivino drinkers rate a solid 3.6 across 135 reviews, best enjoyed within two to three years of the vintage. It sits at the accessible end of Puiatti's range, an everyday Friuli DOP for spice and seafood rather than a wine to cellar.
Buying Puiatti Traminer Aromatico in the UK
Stocked by independent merchants at roughly 14 to 16 GBP, with both the 2024 and 2025 vintages in the UK market. A Friuli DOP white made for early drinking rather than the cellar.
How Puiatti Traminer Aromatico scores for food, value and everyday drinking
Strong on food versatility and everyday appeal, modest on cellaring: a light, dry, aromatic white priced for the weeknight table rather than the special occasion.
Classic, fruit-forward varietal expression of an aromatic grape, dry but perfumed and easy to like; an ideal first Traminer.
Aromatic, dry, high-freshness white that bridges spice, seafood and pork; very versatile, limited only by a delicate body. Aromatic-white band, scored toward the top for breadth.
Inverse of its low cellar score: light, dry, sub-16 GBP and food-flexible, made for the weeknight table.
Lowest UK listing about 14.30 GBP for a hand-harvested Friuli DOP aromatic white; fair rather than a bargain at the category mid-point. price_aggregate empty, banded editorially.

Perfect Pairings
Dishes that complement this wine
Aromatic Traminer at the table: spice, seafood and pork
The rosebud-and-peach perfume bridges fragrant Thai and Chinese spice, while a tangy, dry palate cuts fried seafood and crisp pork. Vivino drinkers most often pair it with pork, poultry and rich fish.
Fragrant Thai and Southeast Asian spice
Traminer's rosebud and lychee perfume meets the aromatic heat of Thai cooking on its own terms, while a dry, light body keeps it clear of any clash with chilli. The bridge here is aroma, not residual sugar.
Try with: Chicken pad thai · Green curry · Satay · More pairings →
Sticky pork and salt-and-pepper seafood
Tangy acidity slices through crisp pork fat and fried batter, and the aromatic lift stands up to ginger, garlic and five-spice. Aroma plus acidity is what makes it work where a neutral white would vanish.
Try with: Crispy pork belly · Salt and pepper prawns · Sweet and sour pork · More pairings →
Raw and tempura seafood
A light body and saline freshness flatter delicate raw fish, while the perfume gives tempura batter a fragrant counterpoint. Serve it well chilled so the acidity stays crisp against the salt.
Try with: Sashimi · Nigiri Sushi · Prawn Tempura · More pairings →
Shellfish, salmon and aperitivo
A fresh, dry attack and gentle 12.5% alcohol make this a natural aperitivo and a clean match for crab and richer fish such as salmon. The acidity keeps oily flesh lively rather than heavy.
Try with: Crab · Salmon · Oysters · More pairings →
Roast pork and poultry
Vivino drinkers most often reach for pork and poultry, and the wine's aromatic weight matches white meat without overpowering it. Best with simply roasted dishes rather than heavily sauced ones.
Try with: Roast pork · Pulled pork · Pork belly · More pairings →
Tannic red meat and heavy char
A light, unoaked aromatic white has no tannin or weight to stand against chargrilled steak or a long red-meat braise; the wine simply disappears. Keep it away from heavily tannic, smoky and bitter plates.
Skip with: Chargrilled steak · Braised beef · Lamb shank · Pairing guide →
A drink-now Friuli white, not a cellar bottle
There is no oak and no ageing mandate here; the appeal is fresh aromatics. Buy it for the next two to three years rather than the cellar.
Best in the years above; holds without falling over either side.
A short splash decant softens the first-pour edge and opens the aromatics.
Unoaked, no ageing mandate under Friuli DOP, light and built for freshness; drink within two to three years, not a cellar wine.
£14.30 is the lowest tracked offer for the current vintage and we have no signal of further discounting.
