Italy, Trentino Alto-Adige / Veneto, Vigneti delle Dolomiti IGT
This is a wine that divided opinion today. Manzoni is a cross of Pinot Bianco and Riesling, grown on chalky soils and oak aged. Has a "natural wine" feel to it; relatively deep colour suggests fermentation on the skins; intense and energetic but honeyed and grapey rather than very precise or detailed; good flavours and length.
