A lot of today’s famous Barolo producers started making wine when it became the fashionable thing to do in the late 70s and 80s. Not Manzone.
It all began in 1925 when Manzone Giovanni bought the “Preve Ciabot” (the priest’s house) and began to use grapes from the Castelletto vineyard. In the following years they acquired important vineyards “Castelletto” and “Gramolere”, two of the best cru of Monforte d’Alba.
Today they have six generations of winemaking history in the books and Giovanni Manzone still runs the show. His son Mauro stepped in to help in 2005 and his daughter Mirella joined in 2012. Both graduated from the historic Alba School of Enology.
