ABOUT THIS BOTTLE
The love for the Langhe hills and its wines has been handed down through the Manzone family for five generations. They have been in Castelletto since 1925, and this wine celebrates the family’s centenary in this beautiful area of Monforte d’Alba. They decided to produce this special reserve because the 2009 vintage moved them from the very first sip. We wanted to celebrate this milestone with something equally memorable. Sixteen years after that harvest, the manzone family released the Barolo 2009 Riserva Cento Anni. The label is inspired by the first bottles produced in the 60s. It is a way to honor the past and celebrate the present, with the hope that this Barolo will continue to tell our story for many more years to come.
