Collalto, Incrocio Manzoni 2.15 IGP Colli Trevigiani 2013, Veneto, Italy

“Manzoni Rosso is a cross between Glera and Cabernet Sauvignon. It appears a spacious and luminous ruby red. The nose displays an uncommon grace and delicacy, with notes of fruit that are enfolding and ultra-smooth, and just a touch of that herbaceousness classic to Cabernet Sauvignon.

That same smoothness marks the palate as well, then the finish displays a fine, judicious crispness, both qualities making this wine both immediately delicious yet suitable as well for cellaring.
It is excellent with lighter meat dishes. But try it too as a more unexpected partner to full-flavoured fish for instance, fish soups, chowders, etc; in this case, serve it slightly cool, at 16°C. It is also a fine accompaniment to briefly-aged raw-milk cheeses.”
