A delicate and juicy red wine, made from grapes handled and vinified by Manzone Giovanni, in Langhe land.
In 2020 a new vineyard was planted, in a few years it will be added to the production of Langhe Nebbiolo.
”The Crutin” is an historical house in the heart of the Gramolere mga, which has belonged to the Manzone family since 2001.
In the Piedmontese dialect “Crutin” means small cellar carved by hand into rock, and here in the past food and wines used to be stored.
The manual harvest is made in mid/late october to ensure the perfect ripening of the grapes. The natural fermentation with the skins lasts 6 to 7 days and maintain the wine’s pleasant drinkability.
After the required aging in barrels and steel tanks, the wine is bottled during waning moon.
The first vintage was produced in 2000.
Few thousand bottles of Langhe Nebbiolo are produced and sold about 1 year and a half after the harvest.
