Barolo DOCG 2022

The 2022 Barolo DOCG by Margherita Otto represents the apex of Alan Manley’s traditionalist philosophy in Monforte d'Alba: blending distinct top-tier sites to craft a balanced, harmonious classic Barolo. The Nebbiolo fruit is sourced from premier micro-parcels across Bussia, Coste di Rose, and Vignane, seamlessly marrying the power of Monforte with the perfumed elegance of Barolo.

Cellar practices follow strict heritage methods: wild-yeast fermentations in concrete vats, extended submerged-cap macerations (cappello sommerso), and gentle extractions. The wine ages for roughly 35 months in large neutral oak casks (French and Slavonian), completely avoiding new wood influence. Unfined and unfiltered, the 2022 Barolo emerges as a deeply transparent, mineral-driven, and hauntingly complex masterpiece built for long-term cellaring.
