Tasting notes

Deep ruby with purple lights. The nose brings dark forest fruit and red cherry together with sweet spice and a faint note of cocoa from the tonneau. The palate is medium-bodied and soft in texture, carried by the juicy acidity that defines good Barbera, and the finish is clean with a chocolate edge.

About this wine

Paolo Manzone and his wife Luisella run their family winery in the Meriame cru at Serralunga d'Alba, in a small amphitheatre between Baudana and Lazzarito. The vineyards are worked by hand and without chemical treatments, and the fruit is picked into small crates.

Fiorenza comes from low-yielding vineyards in the Sinio area, where Barbera keeps a clearly varietal character. After fermentation in stainless steel the wine spends twelve months in French oak tonneaux, about a fifth of them new. This is the magnum: a format that ages more slowly than the standard bottle and makes an obvious centrepiece for a long table.
