About this wine
Vineyard and terroir
La Manina follows the philosophy of the La Contessa cuvée but comes from vineyards beyond Terlan. Younger vineyards form its foundation, supplemented by carefully selected purchased grapes and second pressings from Manincor’s leading single-vineyard wines.
Grapes
The 2025 blend comprises 51% Pinot Blanc, 33% Chardonnay and 16% Sauvignon Blanc.
Vinification
After destemming, the grapes remained in the press for a six-hour skin maceration to extract aroma and structure. Fermentation proceeded with native yeasts, partly in oak barrels and partly in stainless-steel tanks.
Ageing
The wine matured on its fine lees for six months, integrating and refining its aromas and flavours.
Technical data

Vintage notes
The 2025 season began with early budbreak and a warm spring; flowering occurred by mid-May. Sunny weather and moderate rainfall in July and August encouraged healthy fruit and even ripening. September rain made the harvest more demanding, requiring precise vineyard work and careful hand harvesting. The resulting wines combine freshness, balance, expression, character, elegance and depth.
