Manifesto - orange wine

APPELATION: White wine of Italy
GRAPE VARIETY: 100% Johanniter

Transparent, honest farming adapting to the future and honoring the past. Plant, nurture, wait, watch in grow. This wine is our legacy for the future. 

Manifesto is a choral project, the result of collaboration with local farmers, with whom it was possible to combine a vision for the future and a temperament trained in experimentation. To make Manifesto, we chose a resistant vine, the Johanniter, and worked to understand the variety’s potential and to enhance it, adapting vinification to the climate-soil combination. On 12 August 2024, the first harvest, strictly handmade and in boxes. Manifesto is a wine that openly declares our courageous work, committed to honest viticulture.
