Barolo DOCG 'Big 'd Big' 2008 (750 ml.) Rocche dei Manzoni
The Barolo 'Big 'd Big' by Rocche dei Manzoni is produced from only nebbiolo grapes sourced from the Mosconi vineyard area. A powerful yet elegant wine, it is a Nebbiolo aged for about 3 years in barrel and for another year in bottle before being marketed. Its aromas of cherry, blackberry, violet, vanilla, and toasted notes make it an intense and complex wine. On the palate, this wine from Piedmont has a velvety texture, although the tannins are still quite firm, given the youth of the wine. A wine to be cellared, potentially for up to 30 years.

THE COMPANY
Podere Rocche dei Manzoni was founded in 1974 in the locality of Manzoni in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba, the beating heart of the Langhe and the production area of Barolo, at the behest of Valentino Migliorini.
Today, the company consists of 50 hectares, all part of the same municipality with properties in the best and most suitable plots of the wine-growing area.
A model company, which has always stood out for courageous and winning choices. In 1976 we created the first blended wine in the Langhe, we were the first in 1978 to use barriques for the vinification of our wines and in the same year our production began.
A model company, Rocche dei Manzoni has always distinguished itself in the landscape of great Italian producers for courageous and winning choices. In 1976, it created the first blend ever produced in the Langhe, an area where nebbiolo, barbera, freisa, and other varieties were historically vinified only in purity.
