In the northernmost reaches of Italy, close to the Austrian border, the dramatic landscape is a fitting backdrop to one of the world’s most important wine-producing areas.
Score: 89Vintage 2019Vinous MediaThe 2019 Incrocio Manzoni, a variety that is the result of crossing Riesling Renano with Pinot Bianco, is incredibly spicy and refreshing. Here I’m finding an air of smoke with wild herbs and white pepper, which evolves to show pungent crushed lemon and wet stone. It's wonderfully round and pliant, with noticeable inner sweetness balanced by bright acids, as exotic inner florals resonate above notes of ripe yellow apples with a hint of fresh mint. Although a bit vinous, it maintains poise while still coming across as fruit-forward, vibrant and juicy.Shelf TalkerFull Page Review
