This red wine is of unparalleled beauty and hails from the Langhe wine region. The vineyard bears the name Luvi, which lends itself to the sun. Planted south-facing, it allows the bunches to ripen easily. The fresh wind that prevails in the Langhe region provides the right cooling and contributes to the unique quality of the bunches. The vines are now over twenty years old, and the vines are truly at their very best, as you can taste. A wine with great diversity, power, and suppleness. The soil in which the vines grow contains a lot of clay and limestone, giving the bunches almost perfect purity and abundant ripeness.
The harvest is hand-picked at ideal ripeness. Each bunch is inspected, and only the finest are selected. The bunches arrive at the winery in small 20-kilo crates. A direct pressing follows, followed by a very long oak aging of up to twelve months for some of the wine. Paolo Manzone chooses to age the remainder in steel barrels, guaranteeing the drinkability of this Langhe Rosso. This is evident when pouring the wine. We noted impressions of ripe red and black fruit, accompanied by a lovely spiciness. Plenty of toasted and oaky notes, along with, of course, some violets and bay leaf. On the palate, it's a true treat for the palate, as it encounters impressions of ripe red and black fruit, such as berries and blackberries. Later, as the wine swirls around, we taste the depth of this red wine, with abundant richness of cedar, violets, plums, and a touch of vanilla. The long finish leaves a soft aftertaste with a hint of licorice and cocoa.
