2017 MANINCOR MOSCATO GIALLO ALTO ADIGE

2017 MANINCOR MOSCATO GIALLO ALTO ADIGE, ITALY.100% Moscato Giallo. (Biodynamic)

Manincor is a Biodynamic family vineyard and winery located in Alto-Adige, north of Venice.

Moscato Giallo is also known as Goldmuskateller (Muscat) that tends to produce deeply colored, golden wines that have moderate acidity levels but are highly aromatic. This example by Manincor is delicious, coming from the “Mazzon” vineyard near Kaltern at an altitude of 350 m above sea level, a very steep, south-facing mountainside vineyard exposed to intense sunlight with warm, gravely, morainal soils. The “Vogelleiten” site in the Manincor estate, likewise an extremely steep slope with soils consisting of clay and limestone gravel. The grapes were de-stemmed and left to macerate in the press for twelve hours to enrich the juice with aroma substances and body leached from the skins. Fermentation took place in oak, partially with yeasts naturally occurring in the vineyard. The young wine was subsequently matured on the fine lees for four months to enable the aromas and flavour to evolve. Serving suggestions: enjoy lightly chilled, 46 – 50 °F. – Delicious as an aperitif, with oriental dishes and strong-tasting hard cheeses.

About:Manincor has a long history producing wine in South Tyrol. The estate's buildings date from 1608, built by Hieronymus Manincor. The emperor had endowed him with land beside the Lake of Kaltern for his services to Austria and at the same time raised him to the ranks of the nobility. Hieronymus Manincor’s grand daughter married one of Count Enzenberg’s ancestors in 1662. The Enzenbergs have been among the most prominent Tyrolean families for 800 years. Their name appears in documents for the first time in 1236 and they have been resident in South Tyrol since around 1500.

Today, the land and properties are administered by Count Michael Goëss-Enzenberg and include vineyards, extensive fruit orchards and several splendid manor houses.
