Merk: Terre degli Svevi Re Manfredi

Manfredi Bianco - Basilicata IGT

This wine comes from 20 hectares owned by the winery in the Commune of Pian di Camera in Venosa Province. Here white varieties such as Müller Thurgau and Traminer are cultivated on soils of volcanic origin and, thanks to the climate with great temperature swings, their minerality and floral notes are exalted in this terroir. The result is an aromatic wine with a great personality but with lower acidity than whites from the north. It expresses itself with fresh floral and spicy notes and on the palate it reveals a marked minerality that interacts in an intriguing manner with the slight sugary residue.

The grapes: 75% Müller Thurgau – 25% Traminer Aromatico

The vineyard: the vineyard is the company's own, located in the Pian di Camera locality in the Commune of Venosa in Potenza Province: 20 hectares of vines on soils of volcanic origin with great potential in terms of aromatic varieties.
The density is 3300 vine-stocks per hectare for the thirty-year-old Müller vineyard and 5500 stocks/ha for the Traminer. The vines are trained using the vertical trellising system and the guyot pruning method.

The wine: a straw green colour with golden hues. A highly complex bouquet with fruity notes of apple and peach. Spicy notes of sage and nettle accompanied by hints of rose and cinnamon. On the palate the wine once again expresses the entire evolution of its aromatic essences which are kept fresh by a striking minerality that plays an intriguing role with the slight sugar residue.
