1997 Barolo Vigna Cappella di S. Stefano, Rocche dei Manzoni
Since 1993 Rocche dei Manzone have been making wine from this site in Perno around the hilltop where the chapel of Santo Stefano is located.
The nose is large scaled and intense with notes of dried up cherry jam, iodine, sun warm asphalt, dried mushrooms and Christmas spices. Stunning.
The taste is deep, layered and gorgeous with perfect maturity, a boatload of sweet fruit, soft tannins and a minute long finish. A great wine caught at a perfect moment in time.
96p (tasted 2025/11)
