Summary: Mandoleto is a collection of modern wines matched to the ideal Italian region, identified over thousands of years of trial and error. Mandoleto is named in honour of the Mandorlo (Almond) tree that grow alongside the vines on the steep hillsides. Each spring the Mandorlo flower, bringing a touch of beauty to the harsh landscape.
Winemaking: Sourced from higher altitude vineyards north east of Verona. The fruit is later ripening and picked early in the morning to preserve natural acidity and freshness. The vinification is quick and precise with fermentation in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks before maturation on lees for three months to build depth of flavour.
2021 Vintage: A vintage that brought a more even ripening season to Veneto bringing yields closer to previous averages. The berries ripened, developing fine natural acidities whilst arriving at excellent flavour and phenolic ripeness. The wines show bright fruit flavours with lifted aromatics.
Tasting Note: Pale in colour with lifted notes of citrus, almonds, and ripe pear. The palate is elegant and vibrantly fresh with soft fruit flavours matched by cleansing acidity before a very long and satisfying, dry finish. A varietal and fresh Pinot Grigio that is perfect with pork dishes.
