Domaine Giovanni Manzone

2.9/5See all 35 reviews

Giovani Manzone In 1925, he bought the parish priest's house in Monforte d'Alba, in Piedmont, and began cultivating vineyards there. Over the years, the property expanded, and the Manzone Estate now covers 8 hectares in the Barolo, Barbera, Langhe, and Dolcetto appellations.

Three specific vineyard sites on limestone soils allow the Rossese, Barbera, Dolcetto, and—above all—Nebbiolo grape varieties to thrive, producing wines characterized by finesse, with a more pronounced structure depending on the distinctive characteristics of the terroirs.

In the vineyard, the Manzone family bases its philosophy on a deep respect for life: Piedmont Green Experience certification, grass-covered vineyards, a ban on pesticides, and minimal intervention. In the cellar, the style is highly traditional, featuring long macerations without mechanical intervention. No fining or filtration, and minimal use of SO2. While aging takes place over a long period in 400- to 600-liter barrels, the use of new oak is prohibited to preserve the Nebbiolo’s finesse.
