Manzoni Bianco is an Italian white grape variety bred in the 1930s by Professor Luigi Manzoni. Interestingly, to obtain the grape bearing his name, il Profesore Manzoni crossed two rather distinct varieties: Pinot Bianco with Riesling.
A high-class wine from a blend where the wonderful characteristics of Pinot Bianco come together with the aromatic shades of Rhine Riesling.
Confit lemon on the nose, honey (mead-like scents), and confit pineapple. Exuberant and full of tropical fruits. This smells ripe and concentrated. Still fresh and vibrant thanks to zesty citrus aromas like grapefruit, lemon/lime. On the palate, it is dry with a good citrusy acidity driving the palate balanced up by good palate weight. A nicely concentrated wine, yet very fresh and zingy making it very moreish indeed.
I have enjoyed these wines very much - in particular I liked the Belle Vignes which was rich and very flavoursome
The Cabra Cega was a particularly easy drinking quaffing wine.
Still have another 2 bottles left to sample

Great
Great selection, great taste, great value, fast delivery
Quality is consistent. Deeper bouquet and flavor than most Cali Zins. The Earth tones come thru beautifully about two years from Vintage. Wonderful
Red to contemplate on its own or with good food.
