The 2024 Serafini & Vidotto Manzoni Bianco is a sophisticated white wine that showcases the unique characteristics of the Incrocio Manzoni 6.0.13 grape—a celebrated Italian cross between Riesling Renano and Pinot Bianco.
Profile and Character
- Aromatics: This vintage is highly aromatic, striking a balance between the petrol and floral notes of Riesling and the soft, orchard-fruit roundness of Pinot Bianco. Expect a bouquet of white peach, green apple, and exotic citrus, often underpinned by a distinctive honeyed jasmine scent.
- Structure: On the palate, the 2024 is crisp and medium-bodied. It is defined by a sharp, refreshing acidity and a noticeable savoury minerality that reflects the stony, clay-rich soils of the Montello hills.
- Texture: While it is fermented in stainless steel to maintain purity, time spent on the lees (yeast sediment) gives the wine a silky, slightly creamy mouthfeel that lingers on the finish.
Best Ways to Enjoy
- Service: Chill well, ideally to about 10°C (50°F). As it warms slightly in the glass, the more complex tropical notes will begin to emerge.
- Pairing: This is an excellent “gastronomic” white. It has enough structure to handle creamy risottos, grilled sea bass, or truffle-infused pasta. It also cuts beautifully through the richness of fresh goat cheese or prosciutto.
