Gold from the Italian Alps - 89p

Our wine of the week is a beautiful bottle of white gold from the Italian alps. More precisely Süd-Tirol. An area of winemaking that might not be on your radar, but it should be. 
Historically it’s been strongly influenced by Austrian winemaking, due to the region's long history under the rule of Austria-Hungary and Holy Roman Empires.
The region produces a wide variety of grapes that usually is not found in other parts of Italy. 
Wines from this region tend to have very strong character and to pair excellent with a good variety of foods. Our pick is a blend of Pinot Bianco (60%) Chardonnay (30%) Sauvignon Blanc (10%)

Tasting notes

​Manincor Réserve della Contessa 2019 -  257kr

Light golden yellow. Delicious smell of ripe yellow fruits, apricots, peaches and green apples. Nice touch of spices and herbs. Very juicy and fruit driven wine. Round and well balanced with great acidity. 

With food

Delicious with rich seafood dishes and poultry. But will also handle pork very well.
