A full and balanced red wine. Intense and harmonic aromas, fruit forward cherry and raspberry. Warm, supple and sapid on the palate, exhibiting excellent tanninc balance. Made from 100% Nebbiolo grapes handled and vinified by Manzone Giovanni, in Langhe land.
The grapes come from a single vineyard, in the Gramolere mga, in Monforte d’Alba.
The vines are about 35 years old and the steep slope of the hill only allows manual processing.
The exposure is south-southwest; the soil is sandy and rich in stones and fossils.
The manual harvest is made in mid/late october to ensure the perfect ripening of the grapes.
The natural fermentation with the skins lasts 30 to 40 days, with soft pumping over to guarantee a delicate polyphenolic extraction.
After about 3 years of ageing in barrels and a few months resting in concrete tanks, the wine is bottled during waning moon.
The first vintage was produced in 1971.
Few thousand bottles of Barolo Gramolere are produced and sold about 5 years after the harvest.
