The flagship wine is the ‘Schweizer’ Manna, which comprises a blend of Riesling, barrel-fermented Chardonnay, Gewürztraminer, Kerner and barrel-fermented Sauvignon Blanc. Rich and complex with abundant ageing potential, it stands among Italy’s finest white wines. The aromatic quality of the Riesling and Gewürztraminer shines through in the glass, complemented by depth and texture achieved through a subtle use of oak on the Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc.
 
The climate here is more continental than Mediterranean with very hot summers and quite cold winters, as the weather is not moderated by any nearby water. In the summer, Bolzano is one of the hottest cities in Italy, despite being only 70 kilometres from the Austrian border, as the heat is trapped in the mountainous valley. The fruit is sourced from five vineyards located in the municipalities of Montagna, Egna, Aldino and Bressanone at altitudes ranging between 350 - 800 metres above sea level. The soils are quite different from one another in their composition and are a mixture of dolomitic, porphyric, sandy and marly, with south-westerly exposures. The grape varieties are harvested separately as they ripen at different times.
 
Golden yellow in the glass, this wine opens with a complex and layered bouquet of elderflower, pistachio and rose petal. Soft and elegant, the palate is concentrated, with a mineral character and hints of herbs and passion fruit. Thanks to the high percentage of Rielsing, it has considerable potential to age and will develop layers of honeyed, nutty complexity.
