About

Re Manfredi was established in 1998 in the heart of the Aglianico del Vulture DOC production area, just a few kilometres from Venosa. The plateau is dominated by the extinct volcano Vulture, whose lava, mixed with soil rich in clay, calcium, nitrogen and tuff, has given rise to an extremely suitable terroir in which complex and unique wines are born, characterised by a particular minerality and sapidity. The property covers 100 hectares of vineyards cultivated with native and allochthonous grapes, using the Guyot and spurred cordon systems. In the centre stands an elegant and cosy masseria and next to it is the winery with a modern vinification plant and a prestigious barrique cellar where the wines are refined.

Vinification

Cold pre-fermentation maceration for 10 days, followed by alcoholic fermentation for about 15 days at a temperature of 18-23 °C.

Tasting Notes

Vibrant, inky ruby red with a generous, complex nose, sour cherry and aromatic herb notes to the fore, and hints of vanilla and pepper. The flavor is powerful and commanding with elegant spice and confectioner’s cream in the finish. A full-flavored, minerally wine, traits that make it astonishingly well-balanced.

Wine Enthusiast

On the nose, savory topsoil and pencil shavings play with the astringency of cranberries and sour cherries, highlighted by a white pepper undertone. On the smoky palate, raspberries join the cranberries and cherries, while bold but approachable tannins look on.
