The Manara winery was established in 1950 in San Floriano in the heart of Valpolicella Classica.
The owners have been running it for three generations, maintaining local wine-making traditions with growing experience, passion, and a strong bond with the Valpolicella Classico region.
The estate stretches over 11 hectares in the districts of San Pietro in Cariano, Negrar, and Marano di Valpolicella.
After three generations and with its fourth gradually joining in, the Manara family is carrying on its wine-growing tradition with passion and knowledge, maintaining the strong bond with the land that saw it originate and grow.
The plant breeding system is the “double pergoletta” (pairle).
They produce top quality Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella, Molinara, and other minor varieties of grapes and only the best go for further winemaking which eventually gets reflected in their wines.
The Recioto della Valpolicella DOCG "Moronalto" is a red wine from the Manara winery harvested from a particular vineyard sited at the top of the hill in the Valpolicella Classico region, called “Moronalto”.
The bunches that give life to this wine are: Corvina 65%, Rondinella 25%, Dindarella and Croatina 10%. Fermentation takes place at a temperature of 10°C and maceration lasts 40 days with pumping over twice a week; subsequently the wine is transferred to stainless steel barrels for 12 months; the wine is then aged for another 12 months in the bottle.
A delicious sweet dessert wine to accompany almond biscuits, dark chocolate and pastries without jam or cream.
