“Close your eyes and imagine an evening in the cold, dark, hard foothills of the Alps. A fire smoulders in the hearth of a stone farmhouse; game is being roasted in the old oven. Wine in this setting is more than just wine. It is reassurance; it is solace, it’s a unique emotion…”
Barolo “Bricco San Pietro” from Manzone’s family comes from one of the greatest terroirs of the Langhe hills (south-eastern Piedmont). “Fraschin” Vineyards, in the Monforte village, with a south-westerly exposure, are characterised by clay, tuff, sand, and silt left behind by the withdrawal of the Sea Padano about 16 million years ago. These alternating layers give this wine complexity, finesse, structure and elegance, all features that the Manzone brothers seek in their traditional vinification techniques, using indigenous yeasts, gentle extraction and ageing in older, large Slovenian “foudres”. Beautifully aromatic, a classic Barolo from one of the greatest terroirs in the region, rated 95/100 points by Wine Enthusiast.

Rated 95/100 by Wine Enthusiast, Barolo Bricco San Pietro presents fragrant blue flower, woodland berry, dark spice and pine forest aromas that lead the way.
