Margherita Otto

The 2022 Langhe Nebbiolo is a very serious wine from Alan Manley, made all the more notable by the challenges of the growing season. Racy, layered Nebbiolo fruit and sweet aromatics all open in the glass. The 2022 is a blend of fruit from several sites, all co-fermented and aged in cask for 12 months. I would give this a bit of time in bottle as the tannins a pretty imposing in the early going. Antonio Galloni, Vinous 91 Points

This one's another argument for blending sites! From a disciple of Maria Theresa Mascarello. The 2016 M8 is a blend of Castiglione Falletto, Monforte & Serralunga fruit! I rarely buy wine site unseen. In this case I couldn't resist! The story and experience behind Allan Manley's launch of his own venture has him working with a veritable who's who of Barolo ending with Maria Theresa Mascarello where he still works. As you might expect he's a proponent of blended Barolo vs single cru. I can't wait
