Wine buy of the month. Madre '14: Manzoni Bianco at its peak

Jan 29 2017, 08:00 | by Gambero Rosso

Looking for a good white wine? Manzoni Bianco is perfect for spicy and savoury dishes. Try it on pan-fried chicken and you will find the perfect pairing. Tropical fruit, citrus and wood are the main fragrances of this great wine. Here are a few more details about it.

Manzoni Bianco

Gloria, Graziella and Domenico Cescon radically renewed their family winery without losing touch with their roots. They have over 100 hectares of vineyard today, which they supplement with fruit bought in from a host of other local growers. The latter goes mainly to making their more straightforward wines, while the estate vineyards are the foundation for the more ambitious offerings, wines that are aromatic and with superb personalities. We have been expecting for years now the placing of the capstone in the Cescon enterprise, and here it is, in the appearance of a Manzoni Bianco that has no peer.

Tasting notes

Madre 2014 embodies superb aromatic expression, with understated use of wood that heightens the effect of citrus and tropical fruit, while the near-endless progression in the mouth is emphatic yet majestic. Our tip? Pair it wih some pan-fried spicy chicken.
