Grape MANZONI BIANCO

Italian heritage for northern vineyards

"Manzoni Bianco" from the producer "Lazurnaya Yagoda" (Лазурная Ягода) represents a successful adaptation of the prestigious Italian technical variety (Incrocio Manzoni) to northern climatic zones. The originator has focused on preserving the complex aromatic profile of this variety, which is highly valued by winemakers for its acidity and distinctive mineral character.

Resilience and viticulture

A key challenge in northern winemaking is pathogen pressure. The Manzoni Bianco clone selected by "Lazurnaya Yagoda" offers high resistance to Downy Mildew (Plasmopara viticola) and Esca, reducing the need for aggressive treatment schedules. The perfect-flowered vine ensures reliable pollination, which is a decisive factor for consistent yields in cooler regions.

Key characteristics

• Usage: Technical (wine production).
• Cluster size: Small (up to 300 g), facilitating optimal maturation.
• Berry profile: White, small (< 2 g), ideal for high-quality juice extraction.

For the winery, Manzoni Bianco is a versatile tool. The combination of small berries and high natural resistance allows growers in northern regions to cultivate an elite white wine variety while maintaining a sustainable management approach. By choosing this variety from "Lazurnaya Yagoda," producers can diversify their portfolio with a sophisticated wine that reflects the unique conditions of its northern terroir.
