barbaresco
Manzola

The thin strip of vineyards above Villa Manzola (or Manzola Vecchia) is less esteemed nowadays by connoisseurs than the bordering MGAs of Rombone and Valeirano. Local tradition, however, gives it an equal dignity and, in addition, the wines currently on the market reinforce this conviction, though with a style slightly more polished and accessible compared to that of the other two MGAs.
