He decided to buy an ancient Piedmontese farmhouse in the heart of Langhe Region, in Manzoni Soprani area, where now the main productive centre of the firm resides.The firm has been expanding through the years and it now hosts several storage and productive rooms, each one dedicated to a single, particular step of the wine making.We have always stood out thanks of our courageous decisions. In 1976 we produced the very first blend in Langhe Region, Bricco Manzoni, 80% Nebbiolo and 20% Barbera, that can be now considered a traditional blend. Furthermore, in 1978 we produced the first sparkling wine classic method in Langhe from own local grapes, Valentino Brut Riserva Elena, with Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. Moreover, we have been one of the first producers in Langhe Region to use the barrique in the wine making.Now Rocche dei Manzoni is surrounded by its 50 hectares of vineyards, divided into 5 different areas all belonging to the Municipality of Monforte d’Alba in addition to the further 10 hectares of Pianpolvere Soprano. It is a separate firm that carries a different logo always belonging to Migliorini’s property, where just one Barolo is produced: Barolo DOCG Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia Riserva 7 Anni.The total annual production is about 270.000 bottles: the 40% of it is represented by our sparkling wines classic method and the rest 60% by our still wines, overall red wines. In our vineyards, we only use natural techniques, based on the exclusive manual cultivation and on the biological and biodynamic method that after years of studies have led to a personal philosophy of biodynamic inspiration suited to the peculiarity of every single vineyard. In the cellars, we aim to the most non-invasive wine making, so that the terroir dominates the picture.After the passing of Mr. Valentino Migliorini in 2007, his son, Rodolfo Migliorini, has been leading the firm with the same passion and diligence of the predecessors. “Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia, Vigna Madonna Assunta La Villa, Big’d Big, Vigna d’la Roul: 4 of the best expressions in Monforte d’Alba that offer you a complete vision of the area. 4 completely different characters and personalities to understand the magic of this great and unique territory”.
