Production area:

I.M. 6-0-13. This abbreviation was used by Giovanni Manzoni – for many years headmaster of the renowned College for Winegrowing and Oenology of Conegliano – to indicate one of the most successful hybrids of his career as a wine expert. Pinot blanc and Rhine Riesling are the two varieties from which this exceptional “offspring” derives. It is a highly prized autochthonous vine.

Fermentation occurs inside steel vats at controlled temperature, where selected yeasts are added. At the end of alcoholic fermentation, the wine is left in contact with the yeasts for a suitable period of time.
