Rocche Dei Manzoni, Barolo DOCG Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia DBMG, 2010

Rocche dei Manzoni’s Barolo DOCG Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia DBMG 2010 is a rare, highly sought-after expression of Nebbiolo, released only in the very best vintages after seven years of maturation. Produced from a prized Bussia parcel in Monforte d’Alba, it combines the pedigree of classic Barolo with an intensely individual character and remarkable depth. Its long aging and meticulous, hands-on production make it one of the standout wines of the appellation.

Tasting Notes
In the glass, it shows the deep garnet hue typical of well-made Barolo, with the beginnings of brick-red evolution at the rim. The bouquet is wonderfully layered, unfolding with cherry, plum and licorice, then moving into more savory, tertiary notes of leather, tobacco and spice. On the palate, the wine is firm and structured, with high natural acidity and powerful tannins that initially frame the fruit rather than fully revealing it. Beneath that youthful grip lies impressive complexity and concentration, promising a long life in bottle; with proper cellaring, it should continue to evolve beautifully for many years, gaining nuance and softness.

Production
Pianpolvere Soprano comes from a 6-hectare Nebbiolo vineyard in the Bussia area, planted at around 400 meters above sea level with a south-southwest exposure. The vineyard is densely planted at roughly 4,000 vines per hectare and managed biodynamically, with all work done by hand and yields kept extremely low to preserve concentration and site expression. The wine is made only in top vintages and is held back for seven years before release, allowing it to begin its life on the market with a strong foundation of balance and complexity.

Food & Serving
This Barolo pairs beautifully with rich, savory dishes such as braised beef, veal shank, truffle risotto, mushroom pasta and aged hard cheeses. Serve at 16–18°C, and consider decanting for several hours, especially if opening it while still relatively young, to help the aromatics and layered fruit emerge.

Producer
Rocche dei Manzoni is a respected Piemonte producer known for crafting wines with both precision and personality, and for giving special single-vineyard sites their own distinct identity. The Migliorini family’s ownership of Pianpolvere Soprano since 1998 has helped bring further attention to the Bussia terroir, one of Barolo’s most celebrated crus. The estate has earned a strong reputation for low yields, careful farming and age-worthy wines that stand out in the region.
