Tasting notes

Profumo

Perfume

On the nose, the wine stands out for its great elegance and expressive clarity. Red fruit notes take center stage, with ripe cherry in the foreground. Alongside the fruit, one can recognize the typical floral character of the grape variety, with delicate hints of violet and red flowers. As it opens up, the aromatic profile becomes richer, revealing more earthy and slightly bitter notes: elegant nuances of rhubarb, gentian, and a touch of medicinal herbs emerge. All of this is supported by a distinctive freshness that adds energy and liveliness to the bouquet.

Colore

Color

In the glass, its clarity and brightness are immediately striking. It appears radiant, with a crystal-clear, almost brilliant hue. Its lively carmine red color fully reflects its youthfulness, presenting itself as a healthy and vibrant wine.

Gusto

Taste

The wine is ready to drink. The tannins are delicate and never aggressive, allowing for good salivation while leaving a light, powdery sensation on the gums. A subtle note of mentholated talc emerges gracefully, expressing a discreet yet wellpresent balsamic quality. The alcohol is perfectly balanced, integrated with restraint, and never overpowering. In the finish, a refined boisée note is perceived, accompanied by a unique toasted hazelnut nuance that adds complexity and depth to the aftertaste.

From this winery
  • Start up year: 1974
  • Oenologist: Giuseppe Albertino
  • Hectares: 60
In 1974, Valentino Migliorini, who, along with his wife, was already the owner and promoter of a Michelin-starred restaurant, decided to buy a farmhouse in Monforte d'Alba in the Langhe.

Working with the strength of his winemaking experience and his innate ability to stay ahead of the times, in 1976, Valentino created the first Langhe blended wine: Bricco Manzoni, a blend of Nebbiolo and Barbera grapes. But he decided to go even further and, a couple of years later, in 1978, he began producing sparkling wine using the traditional method and introduced the use of small oak barrels for the aging of red wines. Migliorini was the first to import the small oak barrels to the Langhe, and in a short time these numbered 300 units.

By 1982 the small oak barrels were used for all vinification and, in 1999, the first 10-year reserve Barolo was produced. Experimentation has marked the entire production of Rocche dei Manzoni and, together with attention to detail, it has led the winery to become a great interpreter of Piedmontese red wines and opened the way for the traditional method of sparkling wine production in the Langhe.

It would take other producers more than thirty years to try their hand at sparkling wine production.
