Rocche dei Manzoni – Valentino Brut Cuvèe Speciale Door 185th

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 Cuvèe Speciale Door 185th sparkling wine was born thanks to the friendship between Rodolfo Migliorini of Rocche dei Manzoni and the Turin musician Ezio Bosso. Together they thought of creating a melody to help the yeasts work better in the second refermentation in the bottle.
a project that was born for the first time in 2008 and combines two arts: the mastery of producing wine and music.
Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and Meunier grapes aged for at least 8 years. Another great example of a bubble!
