Rocche dei Manzoni’s Barolo Bricco San Pietro Vigna d'la Roul 2018 is a standout expression of Nebbiolo from one of Monforte d’Alba’s finest parcels. It combines the depth and structure expected from great Barolo with a refined, silky style that reflects the estate’s modern direction and historic reputation for innovation.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Barolo shows a deep garnet core with the classic Nebbiolo hue of elegance rather than sheer opacity. The nose is expressive and layered, unfolding with dark cherry, dried rose, licorice, spice, and savory earthy nuances, all carried by a beautifully poised aromatic lift.
On the palate, it is powerful yet polished, with the firm backbone of Monforte d’Alba balanced by a supple, almost weightless texture. There is impressive complexity and length, with fine-grained tannins and bright acidity that promise excellent evolution over the next 20 years or more, though the wine is already highly rewarding today.
Production
This wine comes from the prized Vigna d’la Roul parcel within the Bricco San Pietro cru in Monforte d’Alba, an area known for producing structured, age-worthy Barolo with real depth. Rocche dei Manzoni has long been associated with innovation in Barolo production, and while the estate was once known for extensive use of French barriques, the style has evolved toward a greater use of cement eggs to preserve freshness, precision, and finesse in the finished wine.
Food & Serving
Best served at around 14°C, this Barolo pairs beautifully with rosé-roasted beef, braised meats, truffle dishes, and rich mushroom-based cuisine. Decanting is recommended, especially if opening young, to allow the wine’s aromatic complexity and silky structure to fully unfold.
