Hailing from the deep Austrian north of Italy, Manni is making whites that rank amongst Italy's finest - and they are extraordinarily affordable. We have never tasted a Müller-Thurgau as good as this! It is multi-layered with herbs and jasmine winding through slopes of citric apple and mineral. It is so clean, pure and driven, and extraordinarily elegant. This wine is produced in very small volumes and if you love Austrian whites and Riesling, start following the mighty Manni now!
"Like chiseling away at sheer rock, the 2021 Müller-Thurgau Sass Rigais opens with a smoky and chalky burst of minerality that I find wildly attractive. With swirling, the palate leans more toward fruit, revealing lime zest and crushed green apples. This is silky-smooth, displaying undeniable elegance, just as a salty flourish and citrus-tinged acids effortlessly cut through its textural opulence. The 2021 finishes dry with tropical inner florals and tension that demands patience. The Sass Rigais can be enjoyed today for its potential, but further cellaring is recommended." - Eric Guido, Vinous
"Manni Nössing is one of Italy’s most talented winemakers. In fact, all his wines are so good that it’s virtually impossible to pick the best of the lot, or even a favorite..." - Ian d'Agata, Vinous
