Blend of four grape varieties, Riesling, Chardonnay, Sauvignon and a late-harvest Traminer aromatico.
The first vintage of Manna was released in 1995. This versatile wine is the result of many years of trying to create a wine to optimalize the food pairing, by enhancing different flavours, instead of having to order a different wine for each dish. This wine was dedicated to Franz’s wife Maria Luisa Manna.
In its youth, the wine has yellow-golden notes, and after a few years of evolving, intense golden tones appear. Thanks to its special characteristics Manna seduces with a complex and stratified bouquet that suggests notes of elderflowers, pistachios and rose petals.
It strikes with its complexity and concentration combined with a soft elegance and a mineral structure. Manna is a versatile wine, always transforming, the different grape varieties give this wine different notes and the high percentage of Riesling contributes to keeping it alive over the years.
It is fascinating the way the wine adapts to different dishes, especially of the Japanese cuisine, like sushi and sashimi; it continually renews itself thanks to its multiple depth and structure.
