This Manzoni is produced from the northernmost vineyard on the estate, where gravel stones seem to outnumber the soil itself. This poor, mineral-rich terrain naturally limits vine vigour and yields, allowing the vines to achieve perfect balance and produce fruit of exceptional concentration and character. The vineyard is farmed using sustainable practices that respect the natural physiology of the vines, ensuring a thoughtful and environmentally responsible approach to viticulture.

The grapes undergo a short skin maceration of around eight hours before gentle pressing and cool fermentation in stainless steel tanks. The wine is then aged on its fine lees with regular stirring to build texture and complexity. After natural settling is complete the following spring, the wine is bottled.

Manzoni Bianco 6.0.13 is the most famous among the clones created by professor Luigi Manzoni, principal of the Viticulture and Oenology School of Conegliano, during a series of experiments conducted in the thirties on genetic improvement of grapevines by cross-breeding. Manzoni Bianco 6.0.13, an autochthonous grapevine of the Treviso province, is a crossing between Riesling Renano and Pinot Bianco. Manzoni Bianco has the ability to adapt easily to very different microclimates and soils, even if it prefers hillside, deep, fresh, not hard and fertile grounds, but it has a measured production. The grape is medium-small, rounded, green-yellow and its skin is thick, dense and aromatic. The numbers after grape type refer to location of the vineyards for the original grafts; for example, 6.0.13 refers to the row, vine and vineyard.
