Manzoni Bianco | Grape variety

Nasomatto Trevenezie Bianco IGT 2021

Nasomatto is one of the latest wines from Ottella and presents itself with intense straw yellow color and greenish reflections. It is a fascinating project that combines the grape varieties Trebbiano di Lugana, Chardonnay and Incrocio Manzoni. The result is a wine characterized by delicate fruity notes of white peach and passion fruit. The palate is captivating and of great fruit, but also mineral and with a subtly sweet finish. - Gerardo

Custodia Custoza Superiore DOC 2020

This high quality Bianco di Custoza Superiore was first created for the 50th anniversary of the winery: quite unlike the rather light-bodied Custoza, the Custodia Superiore (formerly 'Le Noci') is expressive, full-bodied and velvety due to the moderate wood barrel aging. Creamy texture with subtle hints of hazelnuts. - Gerardo

"Sparkling pale straw yellow. Appealing and intense nose, of juicy peach, pickled orange slices, some acacia honey, flint in the background. Shows good fullness on the palate, finely ripened fruit, juicy." - Falstaff

'Custodia is a blend of Garganega, Trebbiano Toscano, Fernanda and Incrocio Manzoni Bianco, all picked by hand, given a short, cold, pre-fermentation maceration to bring out the aromatics, followed by long ageing on the lees with continous batonnage. Maturation concludes in large oak casks.

It's a complex wine and part of our history too: the history in the glacial origins of our hills with its attractive minerality; the history of the passion for viticulture shown by our growers with its complex aromatic spectrum; and the delicate elaboration that it undergoes in the cellars with its length and long lasting flavours." - Decanter
