Manzoni Bianco Vino Spumante Brut

Description

Manzoni Bianco is a combination of Riesling Renano and Pinot Bianco grapes created by the eminent agronomist Luigi Manzoni in the early 20th century. It produces a unique wine for its aromaticity, structure, and elegance. The low yield and small bunches give the wine concentration and body. For this reason, the Guicciardini family has made it the basis of their sparkling wine. It is made using the Champenois Method (Classic Method) after a 24-month aging on the lees.
