Barolo Vigna Cappella di Santo Stefano 1996 - Rocche dei Manzoni

Tasting notes

The vineyard of S.Stefano is considered to be one of the most historically important cru for Barolo.

The grapes of this vineyard produce wines with exceptional perfumes and a high varietal concentration, thanks to the south-south easterly, south-westerly exposure and to the composition of the soil, made of gray marls layers, compacted in depth and alternated to sandstone layers amalgamated into yellow-reddish sand deposits. In spite of their intense structure, these wines are exquisitely round and have velvety tannins.

This 1996 is drinking at its peak right now with soft velvety tannins and still has a solid core of cherry fruit and exotic spice.

INFORMATIONS ABOUT THE ESTATE

The vineyards of Podere Rocche Dei Manzoni are all situated within the municipality of Monforte d'Alba.

“The estate's Barolos are made in a sleek, modern style, with 100% new French oak aging. The wines typically require some bottle age to absorb their oak component. In time, the wines always express the qualities of their respective Monforte terrroirs. I have consistently been thrilled with how vintages like 1978, 1982 and 1989 have developed, and only wish I had a deeper collection of the wines in my cellar.”
