"Blackberry and sandalwood aromas lead to a full body, with velvety tannins and a powerful palate. Builds on the finish. Still young and backward. Best after 2011" James Suckling, December 15, 2009

Wine Advocate 91 points

"The 2005 Barbaresco Manzola is a linear, focused offering laced with high-toned red fruits, flowers, minerals and spices. It remains rather compact, yet energetic, and could very well merit a higher score if it fills out a bit. For now, the 2005 Manzola looks like it needs at least a few more years in bottle before it comes around. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2022"

Antonio Galloni, October 2009

Winemaker Notes

2005 Barbaresco “Manzola” (barrel sample)
Deep garnet/light ruby red with aromas of cedar, red cherry and myrtle. Medium-full with very good concentration. Lively acidity, nicely integrated oak and very good fruit persistence. Nicely balanced tannins- give this some time to round out. Best in 5-7 years. Very Good.

Barberesco is the wine made with the nebbiolo grapes that grow on the finest, best exposed soil in the Langa hills.  Thanks to their special genetic characteristics, these grapes ensure wines are aromatically complex, potently tannic and suitable for long ageing.

A wine that captures all the character of the nebbiolo grape, all the tradition and scents of it place of origin.  Austere and elegant when young, it achieves total harmonay with aeging.

An intense nose with hints of violet, rose and red woodland fruits.  Plus a sapid, harmonious, well structured bouquet.

Best drunk with pasta with meat sauce, stewed, roast, braised and grilled meat and mature cheeses.

At the Fiorenzo Nada estate located in Treiso, Bruno Nada produces two beautifully structured examples of Barbaresco as well as other Langhe reds that have been receiving notable critical acclaim for several years now. But this situation is quite different today than it was in 1982, when he began to bottle the wine from grapes grown by his father that was then sold on the market for vino sfuso or bulk wine. “Twenty-five years ago, people here were more interested in growing as many grapes as possible. They weren’t interested in making the best wine.”
