Description
The Manzoni bianco grape is a cross between Pinot Blanc x Riesling and Fontanasanta is the name of the vineyard. The wine has been on the skins for 7 days and is therefore officially an amber wine, but Manzoni (like the Nosiola grape) gives off almost no color. The skin maceration gives roundness to the fresh wine, as does the 12-month maturation on (old) acacia wood. Manzoni Bianco is one of the most sought-after/drinking wines in (the Dutch) natural wine scene. A fine example of how pure and clean a wine can be without being technically manipulated with additives and filtration.
Elisabetta Foradori has made a splash in the biodynamic and natural wine scene. For example, she makes wonderfully elegant natural wines that mature on Tinajas. These are 400 liter amphorae with a certain porosity. The legendary winemaker Elisabetta Foradori belongs to the absolute world top in pure and clean Vin Nature! Nowadays Elisabetta is increasingly involved in making cheese and her three children, Emilio, Theo and Myrtha, are increasingly taking charge of the winemaking and the vineyards. For example, at the end of 2019 Myrtha gave us an overview tasting at Restaurant BAK in Amsterdam and we put all 9 Foradori cuvees next to each other.
