In the rustic Serralunga d'Alba, in the heart of the DOCG Barolo, lies the cru Meriame, where Paolo Manzone has planted his Nebbiolo for his most important wines. The vineyard dates back to 1948 and the vines are sometimes up to 70 years old. Manzone has been inspired by Burgundy and makes Barolos that age in French Burgundy barrels. These are Barolos in a fairly modern style, which match the accessible and somewhat earthy style of Barolos that the Meriame Cru delivers. Originating from the younger vineyards in the cru Meriame in the comune (municipality) Serralunga d'Alba in Barolo. The vineyards are located at an altitude of 350 meters and are south/southeast facing. The soil consists mainly of clay and limestone. The vines are approximately 25 years old. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. The wine then ages for 24 months in wood, with at least 60% in large Slavonian wood casks (3,000 liters) and the rest in French tonneaux (350 liters).
