Teresa Manara Chardonnay Wine

Teresa Manara Chardonnay VT

Destiny arrives without an invitation and does not take off its hat, in the history of our Cellar it is true twice since fate actually took off its gloves and put down its suitcase: it was a woman capable of recognizing in the minimal voice of the bulk wines of the South of 'Italy, a much larger concert.

The name of this woman, Teresa Manara, is all the essence and the keystone of a family passion, the sense of the art of winemaking and of all the harvests experienced by the generations that have taken turns, just as they do the actors of a work replicated several times and become a classic, on a mother earth when the seasons turn, like human lives, one into the other. Therefore, Teresa Manara is not only the name of a Chardonnay and a Negroamaro, but a watershed of memory, the loving homage to the woman, the mother, the wife, the inspiring muse and the grandmother.

Teresa Manara crossed Italy in the years in which businesses were still reserved for men, with a temperament which today is imbued with the most important selections of Chardonnay and Negroamaro signed, in the nineties, by her son Augusto Cantele.
