Wine of the Week-Mimosa-The Sauvignon Blanc of Colle Manora-Monferrato-$18

Published on

By Dwight Casimere

Monferrato is one of the most storied wine regions of Italy. Located in Piedmont just below the River Po, it is a UNESCO World Heritage site. With its ancient castles and historic towers, perched upon its steep, lush green hills, it is one of the most picturesque areas of northwestern Italy.

Wine production is dominated by indigenous grape varieties; Barbera, Freisa, Grignolino and Dolcetto. That’s why in 1970; Colle Manora became a pioneering winery by becoming the first to plant Sauvignon Blanc vineyards in Monferrato.

The choice proved to be revolutionary. It allowed Colle Manora to create a wine that enhanced the image of the area, because it produced a wine of unique character and exceptional quality.

With its brilliant straw color and complex aromas of ripe citrus fruits, white peach, and passion fruit, it is crisp and clean on the palate. Perfect with seafood dishes such as Sushi or Sashimi, Shrimp, Scallops of Lobster, it is an elegant companion. Salads of all types and summer buffet trays of assorted salumi and crudité are also welcome companions.

Fresh, with a well -developed acidity, its added flavors of lemons and grapefruit with a hint of aromatic herbs are a product of the intensely green hills and their calcareous clay soil, rich with mineral salts. Graceful and balanced, it lingers on the palate.

Vineyards are managed with eco-sustainable principles. Harvested by hand, the grapes are handled in small batches to ensure preservation of the delicate fruit flavors.

Style and elegance are the hallmarks of Mimosa Colle Manora Monferrato Bianco DOC 2021.  A wine intended for pairing with your finest summertime meals, it will make your next meal a memorable occasion. For more, visit collemanora.it.
