Manzoni Langhe Chardonnay “L’Angelica” 2020
Chardonnay | Piedmont | Italy | White Wine | Rocche dei Manzoni | 2020 | 0,75 L | 13,5 %
About
Rocche dei Manzoni Langhe Chardonnay "L'Angelica" 2020 is a meticulously crafted, dry white wine that highlights the expressive potential of Chardonnay grapes grown in the Langhe region of Piedmont, Italy. This wine showcases the innovative spirit of Rocche dei Manzoni, combining traditional Piedmontese terroir with a grape variety more commonly associated with the Burgundy region of France. "L'Angelica" 2020 undergoes careful vinification and aging in oak barrels, resulting in a wine that balances the varietal's natural richness with the nuanced complexity and elegance imparted by the wood.
Producer
The Rocche dei Manzoni winery is located in Mancone Soprani and is part of the Monforte d'Albas commune. Created in the 18th century, it resumed its activities in 1974, when the old buildings and famous vineyards were acquired by Valentino and Jolanda Migliorini. Valentino fell head over heels in love with Piedmont on a trip to procure fine red wines for his Michelin-starred restaurant in the Emilia-Romagna region. Always following the spirit of fashion, the Francophile returned to Barolo with the skills of a winemaker, which he inherited from his father. Soon Valentino's passion for the Nebbiolo grapes surpassed his loyalty to the cuisine of the Emilia-Romagna region: he left the restaurant that brought him fame to devote his life to grapes, wine and daring experiments in wine production.
Tasting notes
Tasting notes for “L’Angelica” 2020 reveal a rich bouquet of ripe yellow fruits, such as peach and apricot, complemented by subtle hints of vanilla, toast, and a delicate minerality. The palate is greeted with a creamy texture and a well-integrated acidity that leads to a long, refined finish, making this Chardonnay a testament to the craftsmanship behind its production.
Pairing
This Chardonnay pairs beautifully with rich seafood dishes, such as lobster thermidor or creamy seafood risotto, where its acidity and depth can cut through the richness and enhance the flavors of the dish. It is also an excellent match for poultry in creamy sauces or a mature Brie, offering a harmonious balance between the wine’s complexity and the food’s creaminess, creating an elevated culinary experience.

The Langhe is a mountainous region of Piedmont located east of the Tanaro River and south of the capital of Alba. Lange has a long history of winemaking, and many of the wines produced here use traditional, well-established grape varieties such as Arneis and Vermentino for white wines, and Nebbiolo, Dolcetto and Freisa for reds. Since its official launch in November 1994, Langhe DOC has built a significant reputation for innovative viticulture. The Langhe wine region, known as the 'quality triangle', is made up of a unique combination of climate, soil and local varieties that create a rich wine range. Also, one cannot fail to note the passion and obsession of local producers who fully devote their whole life to serving their land.
