Discover the hidden gem of the Venetian hills with Le Manzane’s Manzoni Bianco. This unique wine is the result of a brilliant scientific endeavor by Professor Luigi Manzoni at the renowned Scuola Enologica di Conegliano in the 1930s. By cross-breeding the delicate, aromatic Riesling Renano with the robust, elegant Pinot Bianco, he created a masterpiece known as Incrocio Manzoni 6.0.13.
Le Manzane, a winery deeply rooted in the picturesque, morainic hills of the Trevigiani region, treats this noble variety with the respect it deserves. The wine captures the best of both parent grapes: it offers the vibrant acidity and floral aromatics of a fine Riesling, combined with the creamy, full-bodied structure characteristic of Pinot Bianco. Upon pouring, you are greeted by a brilliant, pale straw-yellow hue. The nose is immediately captivating, blooming with scents of white orchard flowers—specifically the delicate broom flower—complemented by notes of ripe apricot, peach, and a subtle whisper of tropical fruit.
On the palate, this wine is impeccably balanced. It is dry, yet possesses a lush, smooth mouthfeel that leads to a refreshing and persistent finish. Its characteristic minerality, derived from the unique terroir of the Prealpi Trevigiane, adds a layer of complexity that makes it far more interesting than your standard white wine.
This is a quintessential food-pairing wine. Its versatility makes it an excellent companion to a wide array of dishes. It shines brilliantly alongside fresh seafood—think grilled branzino, oysters, or a delicate tuna tartare. If you prefer a vegetarian path, its aromatic profile is a perfect match for vegetable-based risottos, savory vegetable soufflés, or even asparagus dishes.
Choosing Le Manzane’s Manzoni Bianco means choosing a piece of Italian viticultural history. It is a wine that feels both sophisticated and accessible, perfect for an elegant dinner party or a quiet, thoughtful evening on the terrace. With an ideal serving temperature of around 9°C, it is designed to refresh the palate and elevate the meal. Experience the intersection of tradition, science, and the beautiful landscape of Veneto in every glass—a true testament to the craftsmanship of Le Manzane.
A fascinating cross that echoes the precision of a German Riesling but carries the weight of a restrained Pinot Blanc. Elegant, mineral-driven, and exceptionally well-balanced.
