Terre di Grassaga Manzoni Bianco 08 IGT

A Historic Crossing with Unique Character

Manzoni Bianco (Incrocio Manzoni 6.0.13) is one of Veneto’s proudest white wine secrets. The grape was created in the 1930s by Professor Luigi Manzoni by crossing Riesling Renano with Pinot Bianco. From Terre di Grassaga’s vineyards in eastern Veneto—where the soil is rich in clay and minerals—this grape is reborn into a wine of extreme elegance, impressive structure, and fantastic aging potential.

Depth, Balance, and Salty Minerality

The “08” on the label refers to the specific vineyard block where the grapes are harvested at optimal ripeness. After gentle pressing, the wine ferments and ages in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks to preserve the grape’s unique aromatic purity and crisp acidity. The result is a white wine with exceptional body and intensity, making it a true experience for wine lovers seeking something extraordinary.

Tasting Profile

• Color: Intense straw-yellow with beautiful, golden, and vibrant highlights.

• Nose: Rich, complex, and elegant. The nose opens with notes of ripe peach, apricot, and tropical fruit, followed by aromatic hints of sage, white flowers, and a subtle, petroleum-like minerality inherited from its Riesling lineage.

• Palate: Full-bodied, creamy, and intense on the palate with fantastic balance. The rich fruit structure is kept perfectly in check by a crisp acidity and a distinct, salty minerality that gives the wine a long, clean, and highly enjoyable finish.
