Castello di Roncade Manzoni Bianco 2018

Veneto, ItalyFounded in 1508 and family owned since (the current owners purchased the estate in the early 1900’s), this organically-farmed wine comes from the Arnasa vineyard. Haven't tried manzoni? The grape is a crossing of riesling renano and pinot bianco, developed in the Veneto in the beginning of the 20th century. Here it is fermented and aged in stainless on lees for 4-5 months, preserving the slight fruit. Straw-hued in the glass, this slight grape carries tangerine, sour melon, crab apple along a palate slightly bedded with lees, to a bone dry, bitter, snappy finish.Tasted: 24 March 2020Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:
