Manni Nössing is, quite simply, one of Italy's greatest white wine producers — and one of the most humble people making wine anywhere in the world. Based in Bressanone in the Valle Isarco (Eisacktaler in German) — a narrow, breathtaking Alpine valley in Alto Adige, less than 30 kilometres from the Austrian border — Manni farms five hectares of steep, south-facing vineyards between 650 and 800 metres above sea level. The soils are sandy glacial with slate and quartz rock. The climate is extreme: up to 300 days of sunshine per year combined with dramatic day-night temperature swings that build the natural acidity and aromatic intensity that define his wines. Manni has no formal wine training. He comes from a long line of farmers and began bottling his own wines in 2000, after deciding to stop selling grapes to the local cooperative as his family had done for generations. His approach is instinctive, terroir-led and focused entirely on freshness, minerality and drinkability. Kerner is his flagship — a cross of Riesling and Schiava (Trollinger) that in Manni's hands produces wines of extraordinary crystalline precision, exotic florals and stony mineral depth. The Müller-Thurgau 'Sass Rigais' is equally extraordinary: a live wire of a white with guava, passion fruit, lime and wildflowers. The Sylvaner, Grüner Veltliner and Riesling complete a range in which, as critic Ian d'Agata puts it, "it's virtually impossible to pick the best of the lot."

"My grapes are happy in the shade. They are unhappy sitting in the sun all day." — Manni Nössing All wines are vinified in stainless steel and aged on their lees for around nine months, preserving every ounce of Alpine freshness and terroir character. These are wines of rare purity and quiet brilliance – watch out, they are in allocation territory!
