Pianpolvere Soprano winery
Historically, the vineyard is divided in Vigna Pianpolvere and Vigna Pianpolvere Soprano, owned exclusively by Rocche dei Manzoni. The denomination Pianpolvere Soprano dates back to the late 1700s when Napoleon Bonaparte built a powder keg on this plot. It then became an ecclesiastical property and was purchased in the early 1900s by the Fenocchio family, which went on to vinify its grapes for 68 years. In 1998, it became property of the Migliorini family, who was already producing wine in Monforte d'Alba at Podere Rocche dei Manzoni. The Barolo Pianpolvere Soprano Bussia, a wine produced exclusively for the Italian market and which offers a younger version of the already well-known Barolo Pianpolvere Soprano Riserva. A result made possible thanks to the replanted vines that have finally reached an age suitable for the production of a wine with a shorter ageing period (4 years) compared to the Riserva (between 7 and 10 years), which has nevertheless remained faithful to the terroir, showing all its best virtues.
