Rocche Manzoni Nebbiolo 2022

"Valentino Migliorini left the running of his family's Michelin-starred restaurant in northern Italy in 1974 to buy a farmhouse at Manzoni in Monforte d'Alba — one of the eleven Barolo communes — and turn his attention to wine. In 1976 he created Bricco Manzoni, a Nebbiolo–Barbera blend that was among the first Langhe blended wines of its kind. From 1978 he began making traditional-method sparkling wine and adopted barriques (small French oak barrels) for red ageing — both unusual choices in the Langhe at the time.

Roast chicken, braised rabbit, mushroom risotto and aged Grana Padano; a mid-tier Piedmontese red for 2-6 years' cellaring.
