The Story
Traditional Barolo at perfect maturity from one of Piedmont's most under-the-radar gems. The Manzone family has made wine in Monforte d'Alba since 1925—now run by the third generation. Their philosophy is resolutely non-interventionist: indigenous yeast fermentation, long macerations, and aging in large Slavonian oak casks rather than new French barriques. At 24 years old, this Le Gramolere has developed the ethereal complexity that only patient cellaring can achieve. Drink now through 2035.
