Nicola Manferrari was originally trained in pharmacology, though that was a decision bred from family tradition more than from passion. In 1981, Nicola’s father died, and he was put in charge of his father’s ‘hobby’ – 5 hectares of land, 3 of which were planted with vines. It was there that he found his calling. Self-taught in the vineyards he learned French so he could read things like ‘Phisiologie de la Vigne’ by F. Champagnol. He felt his way through winemaking by following his instincts. This combined with his training in chemistry and biology allowed him to listen to his palate and let that dictate how to get the wines where he wanted them to go. A delicious blend of Friulano, Malvasia, Chardonnay, Sauvignon and Riesling the Milleuve is textured and complex. Aromas of pear, lemon peel, almond and tropical fruit all echo on the palate. The finish is long with an unctuous mid-palate feel and a refreshing mouth-watering acidity. Able to pair with a huge variety of foods – cured meats, chicken, pork, or grilled vegetable dishes. This is also fantastic seafood wine – anything from shellfish to rich tomato-based zuppa di pesce.
