Almonds. That seems like an odd word to lead the description of a white wine, but this one is from Italy’s Veneto, where that touch of almond finds its way into seemingly every sort of white wine. This Manzoni Bianco brought to us by the venerable organic Prosecco house CasePaolin has more than just a touch. The aroma is suffused with it. Salted almond, white peach tart with an almond flour crust, orange blossoms in an orchard next to an almond orchard, lemongrass and green curry spices in a dish also featuring sliced almonds. It’s a lush array of aromas that lead into a full bodied wine, sumptuously textured, yet fresh thanks to substantial acidity. The flavors include roasted peach, marzipan, and a lilt of acacia flower. The Manzoni grape was first bred in the 1930s by one Luigi Manzoni, who made it by crossing Pinot Blanc with Riesling. The result is a wine with the weight and texture of Pinot Blanc, the fresh fruit and zest of Riesling, and the strong preference for cool climate vineyards both parent varieties show. The variety may not have a long history by the standards of grape varieties, but if this wine is any indication, it has a bright future.
