Vinification: Grapes are manually harvested upon full ripeness beginning in mid-October. Fermentation takes place in neutral vats over a period of 15-20 days with daily pumping over of the must. Upon completion the young wines are racked and aged for 20-24 months in a combination of used French oak barriques and big oak casks. Barrels range from 1-5 years old. 40,000 bottles produced.

The Re Manfredi winery was the first one to plant Muller Thurgau and Traminer Aromatico in the souther Italian Region of Basilicata, on the lopes of the Vulture Volcano. These grapes are known to be planted in cool climates, like northern Italy, Austria, Germany.

Re Manfredi’s Bianco Basilicata is a blend of Muller Thurgau and Traminer raised on hillside vineyards at an elevation of 1,000 feet. The vines sit on rich volcanic soil, soaking up the Mediterranean sun to achieve optimum ripeness.

The bouquet is nicely aromatic, floral with candied orange peel, acacia honey, sun-dried apricot and Indian jasmine. In the palate, this white wine is waxy and creamy, ending with a mild touch of pleasant softness.
