Our producers work with temperature-controlled fermentations, indigenous yeasts, and minimal sulfites, enhancing the character of this unique grape variety without corrective interventions in the cellar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePairings and serving\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal temperature: 10–12 °C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal dishes: asparagus risotto, baked fish, fresh alpine cheeses, traditional South Tyrolean appetizers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eExcellent as an elegant aperitif for those seeking something unusual and refined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eDiscover our selection of organic Manzoni Bianco Alto Adige and support the small South Tyrolean winemakers who, every year, express the best of this rare and precious grape variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/albiocorini.com\/collections\/all\"\u003eExplore the entire selection →\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"manzoni-bianco-eva-bio","title":"White Manzoni Eva Sudtirol Alto Adige DOC","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Manzoni Bianco Eva comes from \u003cstrong\u003eBrunnenhof\u003c\/strong\u003e, Kurt Rottensteiner's organic farm in Mazon, in the heart of South Tyrol. Manzoni Bianco is a rare grape variety — a cross between Riesling and Pinot Bianco created in the 1930s by Luigi Manzoni in Conegliano.

Brunnenhof is one of them, and the result is a white wine unlike any other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs an early-ripening variety, Manzoni Bianco is harvested in mid-September.

No wood, no malolactic fermentation — just fruit, freshness, and volcanic minerality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the nose, white flowers, peach, citrus, and a clean mineral note.
