Barolo "Bricat" 2019

Giovanni Manzone's Barolo Bricat is born from a selection of grapes in the oldest parcels of the MGA Gramolere vineyards, in Monforte d'Alba.

All of the Manzone family's Nebbiolo vineyards are spread across two sub-zones of the Monforte d'Alba territory: Castelletto and Gramolere. Within the MGA Gramolere, the Manzones select the oldest vines, giving rise to Barolo Bricat, a rich wine with good structure that fully embodies the characteristics of the terroir.

The winery: Giovanni Manzone

The Giovanni Manzone winery was founded in 1925 in Castelletto, Monforte d'Alba. Over the years, it has always cultivated typical red grape varieties of the Langhe, such as Dolcetto, Barbera, and Nebbiolo, focusing primarily on Barolo. Simultaneously, it has pursued the recovery and development of an almost forgotten white grape variety, which is now produced under the Langhe Rossese Bianco label. Mauro and his father, Giovanni Manzone, currently lead the winery, personally overseeing all aspects of vineyard cultivation, all of which are located around the winery in the Castelletto and Gramolere sub-zones, and winemaking. Historically, the winery has a sustainable approach to viticulture.
