Description

Manzoni Bianco thrives on the clayey-calcareous hills above Trento, where its grapes ripen in late September. Originating from the cross of Riesling and Pinot Bianco, this variety expresses the character of the Fontanasanta soil conditions. Its ability to evolve requires patience; Fontanasanta Manzoni Bianco is a wine that will begin to fully reveal itself after two or three years from vintage.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1901
  • Oenologist: Emilio Zierock Foradori
  • Bottles produced: 180.000
  • Hectares: 29
Our awareness of nature’s rhythms and cycles has been perfected through observation over time: each season opens new horizons, every day we learn and understand a little more. We have learned to pay attention, to grasp the subtle differences existing in nature and to preserve the true character of the grape in the expression of its land of origin. Our daily farming gestures are elevated to creative impulses: it is our duty and privilege to wake up every morning and to be free to work according to the message that the earth conveys to us in that moment.

We harvest the grapes from vineyards covering 29 hectares – 70% of Teroldego, 15% of Manzoni Bianco, 5% of Nosiola and 10% of Pinot Grigio – to produce an average of 180.000 bottles per year: 50.000 of Foradori, 20.000 of Granato, 20.000 of Fontanasanta Manzoni Bianco, 10.000 of Fontanasanta Nosiola, 10.000 of Fuoripista Pinot Grigio, 10.000 for each vineyards of Sgarzon and Morei and 50.000 bottles of Lezèr.
