Discover more about Colle Manora

Colle Manora, a winery established in 1981, is more than just a producer of fine wines; it's a synthesis of quality, style, and passion deeply rooted in Italian tradition. Located in the heart of the Monferrato hills, a UNESCO World Heritage site, the winery was founded by Mila Schön, a renowned Italian fashion designer. Today, her son Giorgio Schön, an entrepreneur, racing car driver and luxury car consultant, along with his wife Marina Orlandi Contucci, manage the estate, blending their passions for wine, fashion, and motorsports. The estate spans 75 hectares, with 20 dedicated to vineyards, cultivating both indigenous and international grape varieties. These include Barbera, Viognier, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, Nebbiolo, Pinot Noir, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and the distinctive Albarossa. The wines reflect the creative drive of Mila Schön and the family's love for red racing cars, symbolized by a red pen stroke on the label. Gentle processing of the grapes is a priority, utilizing state-of-the-art machinery and an automated monitoring system for precise vinification in stainless steel tanks. The wines are then aged in wooden oak barrels and barriques to preserve their unique qualities. Visitors can enjoy wine tasting experiences and explore the Lance Martini Car Collections. The winery also offers B&B accommodations, providing a charming stay amidst the picturesque vineyards and surrounding landscape of acacia, oak, and cherry trees between Quargnento and Fubine. Colle Manora embodies Italian style, blending tradition with innovation to create wines with specific characteristics and a story to tell.
