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.
