An elegant and deep red wine of great structure, made from Nebbiolo grapes handled and vinified by Manzone Giovanni, in Langhe land. The grapes come from a single vineyard, in the Gramolere mga, in Monforte d’Alba. These old vines are more than 50 years old and the steep slope of the hill only allows manual processing. The exposure is south southwest; the soil is calcareous and sandy, rich in stones and fossils. The manual harvest is made in mid/late october to ensure the perfect ripening of the grapes. The natural fermentation with the skins lasts 30 to 40 days with soft pumping over to guarantee a delicate polyphenolic extraction. After 5 years of ageing in casks and a few months resting in steel tanks, the wine is bottled during waning moon. Barolo Riserva Gramolere is produced only in prestigious vintages and the small production of a few thousand bottles is sold about 7 years after the harvest. This wine makes for a prestigious gem
