Italo Cescon

Started in 1957, they expanded to have vineyards in San Polo di Piave & Roncadelle, regions in Veneto, as well as Lombardy. Their signature mark is the knotting of a branch to the neck of the bottle, to represent something precious to be safegaurded.

Description

Italo Cescon Madre Manzoni Bianco Veneto IGT 2019

A wine made from the historic vines planted by the first generation of Italo Cescon, it's a glass full of history & elegance

Grape Varietals & Region: 100% Manzoni Bianco, from the Fagarè and San Polo di Piave estates in Veneto

Taste Profile: bright straw colour with greenish highlights. On the nose elegant and generous with a typical strong aroma. Scents of yellow peaches, acacia, lime peel and aromatic herbs that give way to mineral and salty hints with aging. The sensation on the palate is of vitality and vivacious elegance enhanced by freshness. Well-balanced with good acidity and embracing softness

Winemaking Process: Long soft pressing of whole, manually loaded grapes, followed by fermentation in concrete and then in wood. Matured in oak for about 6 months on lees, then in bottle for at least a year. Bottled unfiltered
