Info

The Fontanasanta Manzoni Bianco grows on a hill overlooking Trento. Fontanasanta is the place where the wine is named. The vines thrive on clayey soil with a high limestone content. The grapes ripen there until late September. Manzoni Bianco, a cross between Riesling and Pinot Bianco, is in the perfect location here. It is fermented on the skins in cement tanks. This is followed by seven months of aging in acacia barrels. Wines of this style and aging method are long-distance runners and should be allowed to rest for at least three years.

Colour

Rich lemon yellow with intense colour.

Nose

The nose is clearly dominated by yellow aromas. The Manzoni Bianco thrives on ripe, sweet pineapple, peach, mirabelle plum, and apricot. With patience in the glass, the stone fruit clearly gains the upper hand. Candied orange and lemon zest support this aromatic picture with tart freshness. Ginger sets clear accents here. Meadow flowers and thus also wild herbs provide floral as well as ethereal moments. The wine seems to be in flux and is constantly on the move. So do its sensory impressions at this young stage.

Palate

The first sip immediately makes your mouth water. Full of spice and intensity. Its acidity structure is style-defining and fundamental to the expression of the Manzoni. All the sensory and tactile aromas follow this common thread. The pressure and its dense mouthfeel are repeatedly broken by the acidity, encouraging the flow. The juiciness clings to the first impression of the pineapple. The acidity structure around this otherwise very dry wine challenges the palate in places. The aftertaste, especially bitter orange and the candied zest, is particularly evident. Dried herbs appear subtle in the background.
