Tasting notes
A classic Nebbiolo with notes of crushed flowers, sweet red berry fruit, spice and licorice. The wine is open-knit and approachable with a silky texture, a complex and lively presence on the palate, and a fine balance between acidity and ripe tannins.
Background
The Nebbiolo is one of the typical species of vines of Piedmont and in the several grape growing areas gives origin to the greatest Piedmontese wines, known all over the world and a source of pride of the national wine-making industry. Its name derives from “fog”, because being this a vine of the third period, it shall be harvested in the late autumn when this meteorological phenomenon is more frequent.
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.
