Rocche dei Manzoni – Barolo DOCG – 2021
Barolo Classico was the first Barolo produced by the winery in 1974, and it remains the winery’s flagship wine, distinguished by its remarkable smoothness and opulence. For this wine, the winery uses its various estate vineyards located in the Monforte area, with predominantly clay soils, giving the Barolo medium-bodied tannins and structure. In this case, the wine is aged for 24 months in barriques and 24 months in the bottle. A pleasant Barolo, it features notes of black pepper and balsamic aromas; on the palate, it has soft tannins and a refreshing finish.

Description
Rocche dei Manzoni is a dynamic winery that has always been at the forefront of innovation, located in Monforte in the Langa region. It was founded by Valentino Migliorini, who arrived in the Langa in the 1970s and purchased a farmhouse in Monforte d’Alba, right in the heart of the Barolo production area. He was a rather innovative figure; he was the first to produce classic method sparkling wines using the same grapes as Champagne in a land of reds and Nebbiolo, and he was the first to bring in and use French barriques for aging the wines. Over the years, he managed to cultivate 50 hectares, all located in the municipality of Monforte and divided among the best vineyards with the best exposures.
From celebrated sparkling wines like the Riserva Elena and the Brut Zero to Barolos that are so full-bodied and smooth, the wines of the Rocche dei Manzoni winery have contributed to the renaissance of Langhe wines, particularly in terms of quality.
