Rocche dei Manzoni Vigna d'la Roul

Barolo from the Bricco San Pietro vineyard Vigna d'la Roul near the winery, made since 1974.

Tasting notes

Deep, transparent colour with regular tears. Violet-candy florals with fruit, a spicy accent and earthy undergrowth; austere, tense and vertical. Notable freshness, fine tannins that never turn harsh, long finish and a reserved, restrained style.
