Il Crutin

2005 Langhe Nebbiolo

Manzone Il Crutin, a splendid Nebbiolo from the prestigious Langhe region, showcases the remarkable characteristics of its terroir. This elegant red wine presents a medium-bodied profile, crowned with vibrant acidity that dances harmoniously on the palate. The fruit intensity is prominent, offering delightful notes of cherry and plum, intertwined with whispers of rose petals and earthy undertones, typical of Nebbiolo. The tannins are beautifully structured, lending a firm yet graceful backbone to the wine, making it an excellent companion for savory dishes. Its dryness complements the wine's complex character, while the 2005 vintage brings an added layer of depth and richness. Enjoying a glass of Manzone Il Crutin is truly a celebration of the Langhe’s winemaking heritage.

Italy

While France takes the crown for the most famous wines styles and grape varieties, Italy is where wine was first perfected. The ancient Greeks called it Oenotria—"land of the vines"—and the Roman Empire advanced grape growing and winemaking to a level of quality we still enjoy today. But behind Italy's best-known wines, such as Chianti, Barolo and prosecco, there's an almost endless diversity of delights awaiting the intrepid explorer. The key to understanding Italian wine is regionality and (of course) food. From the aromatic and sparkling whites of the north to Sicily's rich and spicy reds, Italy offers wine lovers a lifetime of gastronomic treats.
