2018 Rocche Dei Manzoni Barolo Vigna d'la Roul

The Barolo Bricco San Pietro "Vigna d'la Roul" of Rocche dei Manzoni winery is produced from grapes grown on the Bricco San Pietro in Monforte d'Alba and the name relates to the oak tree "roul" in the middle of the vineyard.  It is the strongest most age worthy red wine they produce and it spends a year of aging in bottle after three years of aging in barriques.  A bright ruby red color with garnet tones, on the nose there is a strong bouquet of red berry fruit, vanilla spice, and dark chocolate along with hints of white truffle like earth.  A big and chewy wine on the palate with intense tannins and a long persistent finish touting floral notes and exotic spices on the finish.  Finish 50+  Most Excellent
