Barbera d'Alba Superiore DOC 'Sorito Mosconi' 2020 (750 ml.) Rocche dei Manzoni
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.

Rocche dei Manzoni
In the picturesque setting of the Langhe, a region renowned for its breathtaking beauty and its prestigious wines, stands out the winery Rocche dei Manzoni. This enological gem of Piedmont is distinguished by an innovative and experimental approach, skillfully blending tradition and avant-garde. Born from the desire to explore new frontiers in the world of wine, Rocche dei Manzoni has become a point of reference for the production of Barolo and classic method sparkling wines, without ever losing sight of the connection with the territory and its roots.

THE WINE
The Barbera d’Alba 'Sorito Mosconi' by Rocche dei Manzoni is a wine that stands out from the classic Barberas: it comes from a very old vine (almost 80 years old), which results in very large trunks and very small bunches, offering great concentration and complexity. Winey red, intense, characteristic, becoming ethereal as it ages, reminiscent of the bouquet of Barolo, with rich and soft aromas and pleasant spicy notes. On the palate, it is dry, full-bodied, robust, and confident, with a firm backbone and broad fabric up to velvet, of good pedigree. It is a wine that can be enjoyed after 30 years of aging.
THE COMPANY
Podere Rocche dei Manzoni was founded in 1974 in the area of Manzoni in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba, the beating heart of the Langhe and the production area of Barolo, thanks to the will of Valentino Migliorini.
Today, the company consists of 50 hectares, all within the same municipality, with properties in the best and most suitable plots of the wine-growing area.
A model company, which has always distinguished itself for courageous and winning choices. In 1976 we created the first blended wine in the Langhe, and we were the first in 1978 to use barriques for the vinification of our wines, and that same year our production began.
A model company, Rocche dei Manzoni has always stood out 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.
