Barolo "Gramolere" 2019

Giovanni Manzone's Barolo Gramolere is produced from grapes harvested in the eponymous MGA in the municipality of Monforte d'Alba.

Gramolere is one of the two Barolo wines produced with the subzone of origin on the label. The hill descends from Castelletto di Monforte d'Alba, looking towards the municipality of Barolo; the soils are mainly calcareous with sandy veins, yielding elegant wines with dense but not aggressive tannins.

The winery: Giovanni Manzone

The Giovanni Manzone winery was founded in 1925 in Castelletto, Monforte d'Alba. Over the years, it has always cultivated red grape varieties typical of the Langhe, such as Dolcetto, Barbera, and Nebbiolo, obviously focusing on Barolo. In parallel, 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, are currently at the helm of the winery, personally managing all aspects of vineyard cultivation, which are all located around the winery in the Castelletto and Gramolere subzones, and winemaking. Historically, the winery has a sustainable approach to viticulture.
