Manincor Sophie [2021] 750ml, white

A producer with a 400-year history in the northernmost part of Italy, the careful craftsmanship is appealing.

Manincor, which owns a 50ha field in Caldaro, Bolzano, a former Austrian territory in the northern part of Trentino-Alto Adige, is a historic producer founded in 1608. The head of the company has been Michael Goes Enzenberg, who has taken over since 1991. We cultivate and brew using methods that emphasize the natural environment without using chemical fertilizers. In Gardaro, where wine was already made in wooden barrels in Roman times, we create quality-oriented wines that respect tradition while incorporating new techniques. Maninkor means the action of placing one's hand on one's heart, a sincere attitude that reflects one's heartfelt feelings, and truly represents the producer's policy.

This region is called South Tyrol and the German language is still spoken today. Most of the region is a mountainous region with a harsh climate, and the vineyards are long and narrow on the slopes of narrow valleys, where warm southerly winds blow. Although the Alps will soon experience harsh winters, summers can be extremely hot, reaching temperatures of 38 degrees Celsius, about the same as Sicily and Naples. Maninkole previously sold grapes to cooperatives without bottling them themselves. The local variety Schiava made up 80% of the variety, but when Mr. Enzenberg took over in 1991, he planted only the oldest and best selections and planted them with other varieties. Currently, Pinot Blanc, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Moscato Giallo, Viognier, Schiava, Lagrein, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah, and Pinot Nero are grown, and 75% of the wine is red.

Biodynamic cultivation began in 2005, and certification was obtained in 2009. He is also one of the founders of the Austrian-based biodynamic certification organization "respekt-BIODYN", and works with an attitude of valuing nature in everything he does, and received the "Best Italian Eco Winery Award" at the Gambero Rosso 2016 edition. Ta. He also emphasizes environmental conservation in winemaking. The barrels we use are oak from France, Germany, Austria, and Slavonia, but we also use oak from the forests on our property to make large barrels of 2,500 to 3,000 liters.

Full-bodied fruit flavor, a delicate touch, a casual yet elegant oak aroma, and a rich, thick and beautiful finish. A white color from Manin Call, named after the current owner's wife.
