Meriame Barolo docg Paolo Manzone 2019

Barolo Meriame by Paolo Manzone is produced with 100% Nebbiolo grapes from the "Meriame" Cru in Serralunga d'Alba; here, thanks to the ideal exposure and the soil characteristics, they produce extraordinary grapes which give a complex and elegant wine, very pleasant to the sip and with excellent aging potential. The wine has a beautiful intense garnet red color, with orange reflections. With an intense and complex bouquet, floral and fruity, the nose develops notes of rose hips and violets, ripe red fruit and raisins, in addition to chocolate and delicate spices on the finish. With a great structure and balance, important and elegant tannins, long and persistent finish, Barolo Meriame by Paolo Manzone can be combined perfectly with roasted or stewed meat or aged cheeses.

The Paolo Manzone winery is a beautiful family-run Agricultural Holding that has about 15 hectares of vineyards in the municipalities of Sinio, Serralunga d'Alba and Roddino. Paolo Manzone was an oenological consultant of important wineries in the Langhe for many years; in 1999, together with his wife Luisella, he decided to renovate an old farmhouse owned in Meriame in Serralunga d'Alba and started  his own winery. The small annual production of 80,000 bottles of Dolcetto d'Alba, Barbera d'Alba, Nebbiolo and Barolo allows Paolo Manzone to personally follow all the different production steps. The cultivation of the vine, the harvest and the selection of the grapes are done by hand, in order to guarantee the highest quality and to preserve all the organoleptic characteristics. In the cellar the work is scrupulous and carefully overseen; thanks to a correct vinification and a slow refinement, important wines are made. They are expression of the best quality in full respect of tradition and the territory. Among the labels that bear the signature of Paolo Manzone we mention the Barolo "Meriame", the Barbera "Fiorenza" and the Nebbiolo "Miriné"
