Rocche dei Manzoni "L'Angelica" Langhe Chardonnay is a dry white wine made from 100% Chardonnay grapes, sourced from the Langhe region in Piedmont, Italy. This wine showcases the refined elegance and complexity of Chardonnay, with Rocche dei Manzoni's commitment to traditional winemaking techniques enhancing its purity and expression. The Langhe region's unique terroir contributes to the wine's distinctive character and high quality.

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.
