The 2017 Bricco Manzoni is a blend of Nebbiolo and Barbera (the traditional formula for this cuvée) and displays a deep ruby hue with hints of garnet. On the nose it offers aromas of black cherry, plum, sweet tobacco, anise, spice, and a touch of oak. The palate is medium‑bodied but well structured, with fine tannins, a fresh acid line, and a persistent finish that shows savory nuances and mineral grip. According to profiles, it’s “smooth, mouth filling, and good acid” with clear varietal character.
Podere Rocche dei Manzoni is a boutique grower in Monforte d’Alba, crafting both Barolo and Langhe reds that emphasize elegance, site identity, and terroir purity. Their strict vineyard practices—low yields, manual harvest, and attentive sorting—are combined with a hands‑off cellar approach, with long macerations and maturation in large oak casks to preserve fruit clarity. Over the years the estate has garnered respect for delivering Nebbiolo wines with restraint, energy, and a graceful evolution.
