Tasting Notes: The Manzoni Bianco grape variety was created in the 1930s by Prof. Luigi Manzoni, Director of the Conegliano Research Centre, as a cross between Riesling and Pinot Bianco. Its characteristics include loose-berried clusters, thick skins, high acid levels and lower concentrations of sugar. Today’s increasingly extreme weather patterns accordingly make this grape variety very attractive for Alto Adige. Leaving the grape juice in contact with the skins for several days gives the wine a more striking profile. Aromatics of quince and pear dominate, with a flinty mouthfeel.
Estate History: The Alois Lageder winery in Alto Adige comprises fifty-five hectares of the family's own vineyards, which are managed on the basis of biodynamic principles. The Lageder family has worked in wine production for six generations. Today, the winery is run by Alois and Alois Clemens Lageder.
