Tasting Notes

From high-altitude vineyards in Trentino, this Manzoni Bianco from Elisabetta Foradori is a quietly brilliant Italian white. A crossing of Riesling and Pinot Bianco, it delivers lifted aromatics of citrus, white stone fruit and alpine herbs, followed by a finely textured, mineral palate with bright acidity and a subtle saline edge. Fermented with native yeasts and matured in large old oak, it’s precise, savoury and effortlessly elegant — a wine that speaks clearly of place.

Critic Scores

A super-youthful, fragrant and crispy white focused on citrus fruit and wet wool. Flinty depth. This has a savory, vibrant and mineral palate, crisp acidity and light body. Clean, precise finish. Drink now.

Vinification & Cultivation

Crafted only for our premium wines

Vineyard Cultivation

Foradori is the celebrated Trentino estate revived by Elisabetta Foradori, best known for the red Teroldego of the Campo Rotaliano but equally regarded for its whites. Fontanasanta is a single vineyard on the slopes of the Valle di Cembra, planted to Manzoni Bianco (a Riesling x Pinot Bianco crossing) on lighter, higher, mineral alpine soils that give the wine its cool, tensile line and wet-stone character. The estate is farmed biodynamically (Demeter-certified), with a strong emphasis on soil life and site expression. Alpine altitude, granitic-porphyry influence and cool nights preserve acidity and aromatic freshness; specific 2024 growing-season conditions should be confirmed with the estate.

Vinification

The grapes are hand-harvested and, in the Fontanasanta style, given a period of skin contact to build texture and phenolic grip before pressing. Fermentation runs with indigenous yeasts, and the wine is fermented and matured in large acacia-wood casks (tonneaux) rather than oak, a choice that preserves the variety's citrus and floral aromatics while adding a savoury, textural dimension. Extended lees ageing lends breadth and the wet-wool and flinty depth noted by critics, while the finish stays crisp, precise and mineral. Exact skin-contact duration and elevage length for the 2024 vintage should be confirmed with the producer.
