Though oak is a bit too prominent this is a wonderful showing for the 99. At peak I’d say. Dense fruit, depth, balance, finish with terrific tertiary notes of classic tar, smoke, leather. Excellent. — 19 days ago

This is brut zero rose.

The aromatic nose shows pink grapefruit, strawberry, lime, light yeast, and hint of ginger. The palate is vivacious yet poised with round acidity, not something I expected from brut zero. Gentle persistent mousses.

Blend of PN and chard with 60 months on lees. Rocche dei Manzoni was the first winery (and one of the few) from Langhe to produce sparkling wine in tradition method. — 2 years ago

Purple flowers. Dense violet and rose petal perfume. Elegant; some spice and nailpolish. A touch volatile which, while it is light and works in this elegant style, detracts from the overall drinking experience. — 3 years ago

Fitting name for this wine as it definitely tastes “big”. Fairly round and robust flavor profile. Very good drying tannins.

Does not taste 20 yrs old but that’s a good thing as it still has freshness. — 24 days ago

Beautiful wine. Almost as good as the 1978 Rocche dei Manzoni Riserva Barolo. The Produttori has known what they are doing for a long, long time!! — 3 years ago

Half bottle hiding on the menu = found and re-ordered. Beautiful orange/brown Barbaresco on the swirl, lovely floral nose and arm in arm buds with the roast duck — 3 years ago

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple hours. The 2019 “Primanebbia” pours garnet color with a transparent core; medium viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with an insane nose of wild forest strawberries, raspberries, roses, curaçao, fresh sage, old wood and gentle mix of cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. Probably the greatest Langhe Nebbiolo I’ve had to-date. Drink now through 2039. Thanks for the assist @Lyle Fass — 2 months ago

The label says Valentino on the top but the bottom says Podere Rocche dei Manzoni. This is a spectacular wine. Deep, rich and very alive. #2 WOTN. — 3 years ago
