Rocche dei Manzoni – Barolo Riserva vigna Madonna Assunta La Villa – 2004

Rocche dei Manzoni is a dynamic and avant-garde winery located in Monforte in the Langa. Born thanks to Valentino Migliorini, already owner of a starred restaurant, in the 1970s he landed in the Langa and bought a farmhouse right in Monforte d’Alba in the center of the Barolo production area. He was a rather innovative figure, he was the first to produce classic method sparkling wines with the same grapes as Champagne in a land of reds and Nebbiolo, and he was the first to bring and use French barriques for the refinement of wines. Over the years he manages to cultivate 50 hectares all located in the municipality of Monforte divided into the best vineyards with the best exposure.
From the famous bubbles such as Riserva Elena and Brut zero, to the full and soft Barolos, the wines of the Rocche dei Manzoni winery have contributed to the Renaissance history of Langa wines and above all of quality.
The Barolo Riserva “Madonna Assunta La Villa vineyard” is found in the cru of Castelletto in Monforte, and was produced for the first time in 1999 with the aim of enhancing all the power of Nebbiolo.
It ages for 10 years, of which 36 months in barrique and 7 years in bottle. A unique Barolo, bomb! In 2004 the wine is complex, but at the same time sweet with rather fresh notes. Huge potential.
