Winemaker Notes
Traditional vinification, using only indigenous yeasts, gentle extraction and aging in older Slovenian foudres. Lifted, precise and impeccable in its overall balance. Sweet floral notes meld into a core of dark stone fruits, lavender, menthol and sage. Dark, layered and inviting, this captures the essence of the Manzone house style.
Attracting the most glory, prestige and fame to the Piedmont region, Nebbiolo in all of its expressions—Barolo, Barbaresco, Roero, Ghemme and Gattinara—creates a complex wine, truly unique for its delicate qualities combined with strength and a great potential to improve over time.
But Nebbiolo isn’t all there is to red wine from Piedmont! Barbera is the most planted variety and historically most popular as a dependable, food-friendly, everyday wine.
Beyond these two, a surprising number of red varieties call Piedmont their home. Worth a try include Dolcetto for its bold concentration and aromas of spice cake. Other grapes to investigate include Freisa, Croatina, Brachetto, Grignolino and Pelaverga.
