Tasting notes

Slightly spicy notes of ripe red berries with a hint of bacon and tobacco, dried floral and mineral nuances. Fresh, predominantly red fruit and slightly earthy tones emerge with a hint of cocoa and tobacco on the palate. Balanced and delicate with nice spicy nuances and a very good firm finish and length.

Food pairing

Game, Cheeses, Roasts.

Vinification

The harvest of the grapes takes place in the third period, and the adequately selected grapes are pressed with special equipment. The must is therefore sent to steel tanks where it is fermented for about 15 days at the temperature of about 27 C. During this fermentation, the high temperature together with the long period allow the extraction of tannic elements, that with the other noble elements and an adequate acidity form the first product intended for ageing.

Estate

Giuseppe Manfredi is no newcomer to Barolo. In 1930, he purchased vineyards and a farmhouse in the exquisite Langhe Valley, in Piedmont, Italy. Because of Giuseppe’s foresight, his grandson Aldo Manfredi can carry on the family tradition. Aldo, his wife Gianfranca and their daughters, Luisa and Paola operate the winery. They have brought the estate right up to date with the most modern technology and production techniques. The Manfredi family and their close-knit team pay deep attention to quality. As a result, they perpetuate the inspiring story of a 90+ year-old family tradition. Their winery sits in the beautiful rolling hills of the Langhe valley. The Manfredi family produces and sources high-quality Barbera d’Alba, Barolo and Gavi di Gavi. The family also has 20 hectares of prime Dolectto vineyards at its Bricco Rosso estate in Dogliani.
