Incrocio-Manzoni Description
Origin: Veneto, Italy
History: Incrocio Manzoni, specifically Manzoni Bianco (6.0.13), is a white grape variety developed in the 1930s by Professor Luigi Manzoni at the School of Enology in Conegliano, Veneto. It is a cross between Riesling Renano and Pinot Bianco, created through a series of experiments aimed at improving vine genetics. Manzoni Bianco is renowned for its adaptability to various climates and soils, as well as its resistance to common vine diseases. Today, it is cultivated primarily in northeastern Italy, particularly in the Veneto and Friuli regions, and is included in several DOCs, such as Colli di Conegliano Bianco and Breganze Bianco.
Appearance: Small, conical or cylindrical bunches with medium to small, round, green-yellow berries. The skin is thick and dense, providing resistance to various viticultural hazards.
Growing Traits: Incrocio Manzoni exhibits remarkable adaptability to different climates and soils, though it prefers hilly, deep, fresh, and fertile grounds. It is known for moderate production levels and has strong resistance to diseases like esca, powdery mildew, and sour rot. The grape typically ripens early to mid-season, similar to its Riesling parent.
Food Pairing Manzoni Bianco's crisp acidity and balanced profile make it a versatile companion for various dishes. It pairs well with seafood, such as grilled fish or shrimp, and complements pasta dishes with light sauces. Additionally, it harmonizes with soft cheeses and can enhance the flavors of vegetable-based dishes like roasted vegetables with halloumi cheese.
