Maninalto: My Personal Winemaking Playground

In wine, what fascinates me most isn't just where it’s made or what grape it comes from—but who made it.
That human touch behind the bottle has always mattered to me more than appellations or varietals.

So in 2015, I decided to put my own philosophy to the test. I launched Maninalto, a personal and ever-evolving wine project with one core question: 
Can a winemaker’s “hand” be felt in the wine, no matter the grape, region, or vintage?

Every year, Maninalto moves—new vineyards, new terroirs, unfamiliar grapes, and unpredictable climates. Each vintage is a challenge:

understanding unfamiliar fruit, navigating spontaneous ferments, adapting to nature’s surprises. It’s winemaking without a comfort zone—and I love it.

For you, it means something rare: a bottle that’s never repeated, always sincere, and rooted in curiosity. Each wine is an honest expression of place, time, and my personal interpretation. If it doesn’t feel right, I don’t bottle it. Simple as that.

Maninalto isn’t my full-time job—it’s my full-hearted experiment. That gives me the freedom to stay honest and playful, without compromise.

So if you’re into wines with a strong sense of place—and a strong personality—I hope you’ll enjoy the ride, vintage by vintage.
