Barolo docg Podere Rocche dei Manzoni 2018

The Barolo by Rocche dei Manzoni winery is made by carefully selected Nebbiolo grapes on the vineyards of the Monforte d'Alba hills. After a period of aging, first in wood and then in cement, it spends at least one more year in bottle. At sight, it has an intense ruby ​​red colour, while at nose it gives off an intense, floral and fruity bouquet, with hints of violet and cherry and notes of spices and chocolate. In mouth, it is balanced and sophisticated, full-bodied, with a long and persistent final. It is perfect to drink in combination with fresh pasta with ragout, roast or braised red meats and aged cheeses.

The Rocche dei Manzoni winery was born by the will of Valentino Migliorini, already successful restaurateur, to combine his wine knowledge and his talent as an experimenter. For this reason, as early as 1974, he bought the first farmhouse in Monforte d'Alba and began his adventure as a wine producer. Rocche dei Manzoni was one of the first realities of the Langhe to introduce barriques for the maturation of wine and to produce sparkling wines with the classic method. The winery, now managed by his son Rodolfo, reserves great attention to the respect of the ecosystem such as to install in the vineyards artificial nests of birds and bats to eliminate insects.
