History	Incrocio Manzoni 2.15, also known as Manzoni Rosso, is a grape variety developed by Professor Luigi Manzoni during the 1920s and 1930s at the Conegliano School of Oenology. This grape is the result of a crossbreed between the Glera (Prosecco) vine and the Cabernet Franc.
Ampelographic features	Leaf: The leaves are pentagonal, large, and three-lobed. The petiole sinus is V-U shaped and closed, and the lateral sinuses are very closed V-U shape. The upper surface of the leaf is covered with tiny, spider-like hairs, and is a deep green color, with white-yellow veins that take on a bronze hue near the base of the leaf. The underside is lighter green. Bunch: The bunches are of medium size (around 15 cm in length), single or double shouldered, fairly compact, and cylindrical-pyramidal in shape. The peduncle is visible, but short and grassy, and takes on a reddish hue where it attaches to the main stem. Acino: The berries are medium-sized (about 14 mm), spheroidal-ellipsoid in shape, and regular, with a persistent belly button that is prominent and circular. The skin is thick and bluish-violet, with a regular distribution of color. The juice is colorless, the pulp juicy and of neutral flavor. The pedicel is medium-sized and green, with a noticeable, green bloom.
Characteristics of the wine	The wine produced from the Incrocio Manzoni 2.15 grape variety is a vibrant ruby red color with hints of purple. The taste profile is fruity and warm, making it a pleasant choice for those who enjoy a full-bodied red wine.
