Rocche dei Manzoni Metodo Classico Valentino Brut 2012

Rocche dei Manzoni Metodo Classico Valentino Brut 2012 is an elegant traditional-method sparkling wine that brings the depth and finesse of a mature vintage to the glass. Crafted with care and extended lees aging, it offers a refined, gastronomic style that reflects the house’s reputation for precision and ambition in Piedmont.

Tasting Notes
Pale gold in color with a fine, persistent mousse, this vintage Brut shows the polish and complexity that come with time on the lees. The bouquet is layered and expressive, with notes of citrus peel, baked apple, brioche, almond, and subtle mineral accents. On the palate, it is dry, structured, and well-balanced, combining freshness with a creamy texture and a long, savory finish. The mature profile gives added depth, while the lively acidity keeps it focused and energetic. It has good development now, though it may hold further complexity for a few more years in ideal storage.

Production
Produced using the Metodo Classico, this wine undergoes secondary fermentation in bottle, allowing for the fine bubbles and layered complexity typical of traditional sparkling winemaking. Rocche dei Manzoni is known for a meticulous approach, and the style suggests careful selection of fruit, extended aging on the lees, and a focus on balance and expression. Specific vineyard and vinification details are not provided.

Food & Serving
This Brut works beautifully with oysters, seafood, sushi, fried appetizers, white meats, and richly textured antipasti such as risotto or mushroom dishes. Serve well chilled, ideally around 8–10°C, and decanting is not recommended.
