“Manzone Giovanni continues to produce some of the most unique Barolos in the area.” – Robert Parker

“Manzone is among the estates in Barolo that has the potential to ascend into the realm of the truly elite.” – Antonio Galloni

Giovanni Manzones vingård ligger i Monforte d'Alba, Piemonte. Giovanni er kendt som en stjerne i hele Piemonte regionen, ikke mindst for vine som denne Barolo.

Den samlede produktion for vinhuset er begrænset til blot 50.000 flasker. Her er virkelig tale om kvalitet over kvantitet og filosofien er klar; perfekt beliggende marker, lavt høstudbytte og respekt for de naturlige omgivelser.

Hos Manzone er alle vine ufiltreret for at bevare en så intensiv og autentisk smag som overhovedet muligt.

Barolo er kendt som vinens konge og kongernes vin. Det anmelderroste område huser mange af verdens mest omtalte og prestigefyldte vine.

Denne Barolo DOCG Bricat roses til skyerne - bla. har James Suckling givet 94 points!

Lavet efter alle kunstens regler på 100% nebbiolo og har lagret 30 måneder på egetræsfade.

Smagenote

En forførende rubinrød farve med granatrøde nuancer. Stor bouquet, energisk og vedholdende med behagelige antydninger af brombær og blåbær samt noter af hasselnød og chokolade. Kompleks smag, saftig og elegant med tanniner der indhyller ganen. Brombær nuancerne fra bouqueten præsenterer sig igen i flot sammenspil med den elegante syre. En lang og vedvarende eftersmag afslutter oplevelsen med flotte toner fra fadet. Perfekt med braiseret og stegt rødt kød, trøfler og modne oste.

Anmeldelser af Manzone Barolo DOCG Cru Bricat 2012

94/100 James Suckling
"This has a real brilliance and fruitiness to it with ripe plum and chocolate character throughout. Full body, soft and velvety tannins and a clean, bright finish. So drinkable now but a long life ahead of it."

93/100 VV Wine
"(Nebbiolo, from old, relatively high vineyards in Monforte): Medium ruby, light rim. Freshly opened and immediately a wonderfully fragrant nose, smoke, spices, dried roses, violets, pepper, ethereal notes, that has class, is very complex. Wonderfully soft opening, ripe fruit, full-bodied and with pressure, the tannins are finely woven, a very nice acidity supports, here too there is quite a lot of melt in play, the wine is dense but not heavy. Wonderfully pleasant to drink, ends very long, with warm, ripe cherry fruit. At the beginning of its drinking maturity, definitely has reserves for a good decade. 2017-2030+, 18.5 vvPoints (93/100)"

92/100 Wine Spectator
"Stained with graphite, menthol, cherry, tar and leather aromas and flavors, this chewy red leans toward the rustic side. Features sweet fruit up front, so give this the benefit of the doubt. Fine length. Best from 2020 through 2034. 541 cases made, 100 cases imported. $80"

92/100 Antonio Galloni, Vinous
"The 2012 Barolo Bricat is bright and nicely focused, with beams of supporting acidity that give the wine its freshness and verve. Sweet floral and minty notes open into red plum, cedar, tobacco and leather. Finely cut and yet also quite giving, the 2012 is a wine that speaks to balance above all else. "
