Fontanasanta Manzoni Bianco 2025

The Fontanasanta Manzoni Bianco by Foradori stands out as an absolute benchmark for Italian biodynamic whites, radiating deep energy and laser-sharp mineral tension. Sourced from the historic Fontanasanta vineyard—a breathtaking hillside amphitheater perched 400 meters above sea level overlooking Trento—the Manzoni Bianco grapes (a noble crossbreed of Riesling and Pinot Bianco) thrive on complex clay-limestone soils. Managed through strict biodynamic farming, this unique layout allows the fruit to lock in unprecedented mineral density and a brilliant backbone of natural acidity.

The cellar work closely follows a minimalist, low-intervention protocol to protect the vineyard’s raw architecture. Following a manual harvest, the fruit undergoes a spontaneous fermentation with wild, indigenous yeasts, accompanied by a brief skin-contact maceration running for roughly one week in concrete tanks. This step weaves a gorgeous tactile layer into the wine without subtracting any freshness. The structural matrix then matures for 12 months in neutral oak casks (botti grandi) before bottling. Bottled unfined and unfiltered, Fontanasanta delivers an uncompromisingly deep, vertical, and age-worthy expression built for true connoisseurs.
