About the Producer:
Seated in the Manzoni
Soprani area of Monforte d’Alba, Rocche dei Manzoni was originally
established in the 1700’s. The estate as we know it today came
to be in 1974 when Valentino Migliorini and his wife Jolanda snatched
up the old winery and its prize vineyards. The couple began by cultivating
the area’s traditional Dolcetto and Barbera along with their
Barolo, and they quickly gained a reputation for their thoroughly
modern wines. The great extraction and full-force use of barriques
did not detract, however, from the elegance of the wine or the inherent
character of Nebbiolo, so Valentino’s distinctive Barolos
command respect from experts worldwide. Over the years, Migliorini
planted new varietals and expanded his production, which today spans
the original Barolo, Dolcetto, and Barbera, as well as a Pinot Noir,
a Chardonnay, several blends that include both local and international
varietals, a late harvest wine, and two sparkling wines. His Bricco
Manzoni, which appeared in 1976, was the first blend produced in the
Langhe with 80% Nebbiolo and 20% Barbera. Valentino continues to keep
the wine world on its toes for his next move, and he always leaves
us eager to taste new Barolo vintages as he patiently sits on his
cellar while other producers release their bottlings.
