The Barbera d’Alba 'Sorito Mosconi' from Rocche dei Manzoni is a wine that stands out from classic Barbera: it comes from very old vines (nearly 80 years old), which produce large trunks and very small bunches, resulting in great concentration and complexity. It is a wine-red, intense, and characteristic, becoming ethereal with aging until it recalls the bouquet of Barolo, with rich and soft aromas featuring pleasant spicy notes. On the palate, it is dry, full-bodied, robust, and confident, with a firm backbone and a wide texture, akin to velvet, showcasing good lineage. It is a wine that can be enjoyed after 30 years of aging.
