Fiorenza Barbera d’Alba Superiore doc Paolo Manzone 2021

Barbera d’Alba Superiore Fiorenza by Paolo Manzone is made with grapes from old vineyards located on the Sinio hills. After 12 months aging in French oak tonneaux, it shows a beautiful intense ruby ​​red color. The nose develops a rich and fruity bouquet on which notes of small berries, blackberries and ripe cherries stand out. The taste is very pleasant and balanced; it is expression of good freshness and acidity. Rich and juicy wine, with light tannins and good persistence, Barbera d'Alba Superiore Fiorenza is recommended with traditional Piedmontese pasta courses, with mixed boiled meat and medium-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"
