'Big' d Big 'Barolo by Rocche dei Manzoni is made from only Nebbiolo grapes from the Mosconi area vineyards. Powerful but elegant wine, it is a Nebbiolo aged for about 3 years in cask and for another year in the bottle, before being marketed. Its aromas of cherry, blackberry, violet, vanilla and roasted make it an intense and complex wine. On the palate, this wine from Piedmont has a velvety consistency, although the tannins are still quite strong, given the youth of the wine. Wine to keep, potentially up to 30 years.
