Fratelli Manzone : Vigna Fraschin 2008

The Fratelli Manzone Vigna Fraschin Barolo comes from the well-known region of Piedmont in northwestern Italy. Distinguished by firm tannins, high acidity and elegance, Barolo produces some of Italy's finest red wines from 100% Nebbiolo . The Fratelli Manzone Vigna Fraschin Barolo, harvested from only 10 hectares of vines, is fermented in cement vats and aged in large old oak casks, followed by a long period of bottle aging in the cellar before release. The Manzone family has been producing wines in Monforte d'Albe of exceptional quality for over five generations. The Fratelli Manzone Vigna Fraschin Barolo has aromas of dark berries, forest floor and hints of blonde tobacco. Beautiful ripe fruit fill the palate and yield to an expressive tannic structure held together by bracing acidity, suggesting years of future development in bottle. An authentic and delicious Barolo, enjoy with white truffle risotto with porcini or mild cheeses like robiolo and grana padano.
