Foradori Fontanasanta Manzoni Bianco 2025

Fontanasanta Manzoni Bianco is one of Elisabetta Foradori’s most distinctive white wines, shaped by the hillside vineyards above Trento and the slow-ripening character of Manzoni Bianco. This rare crossing of Rhine Riesling and Pinot Bianco brings together aromatic finesse, structure, and a strong sense of place, with a style that rewards patience more than immediacy.

Tasting Notes
The wine is likely to show a bright, poised appearance with a fresh, luminous color in the glass. On the nose, expect refined notes that reflect the variety’s heritage and mountain setting, with a balance of floral lift, orchard fruit, and mineral depth. On the palate, Fontanasanta Manzoni Bianco tends to combine tension and softness, offering layered fruit, a clean line of acidity, and a subtle savoury complexity that develops with bottle age. It is a white wine built for evolution, and it will typically reveal more detail and personality two to three years after harvest, continuing to improve beyond that with careful cellaring.

Production
The grapes come from the Fontanasanta vineyards on the slopes above Trento, where clay and limestone soils help give the wine its structure and character. Manzoni Bianco ripens late, usually toward the end of September, allowing for full development of flavor while retaining freshness in this cool Alpine-influenced terroir. The wine is produced to express the identity of the vineyard rather than heavy winemaking intervention.

Food & Serving
This is a versatile food wine, especially well suited to dishes that echo its freshness and subtle complexity. Try it with risotto, grilled fish, shellfish, vegetable dishes, light poultry, or refined alpine-style cuisine. Serve chilled, ideally around 10–12°C, and consider opening it a little ahead of time or decanting briefly if you want to encourage its aromatics.

Producer
Elisabetta Foradori is one of Italy’s most respected and influential producers, known for her thoughtful, terroir-driven approach in Trentino-Alto Adige.
