Mas Comtal, Antistiana Incrocio Manzoni Spain

The estate is owned by the same family since 1355. MAS COMTAL owes its name to its membership in the county of Barcelona at the beginning of the second millennium. Its status of family farm begins in the late fourteenth century and since the mid-eighteenth century bears the surname of MILÀ.

Marta Milà is responsible for the management of the winery and the cultivation of the vineyards and together with the rest of her team, they produce Author’s Organic Wines.

This is the fourth harvest of the Incrocio Manzoni, a little-known variety in Spain that Joan Milà “discovered” and fell in love with on one of his many trips to Italy. This is a variety called Manzoni Bianco or Incrocio Manzoni, originally from the province of Treviso. In fact, it is a cross between Riesling Renano and Pinot Blanc carried out by Professor Luigi Manzoni and which was one of the most interesting results after a series of different cross-tests, carried out in the middle of the 20th century. with the aim of identifying new grape varieties that could complement those already existing in the Veneto area.

This variety stands out for the complexity provided by pinot blanc and the aromatic strength of riesling. Well-crafted wines result in complex, aromatic wines with a great ability to age.
