Manfredi Passo Del Bricco is a red blend from the Piedmont region of northern Italy, made from Barbera, Nebbiolo, and Dolcetto grapes and bottled under the Piemonte DOC designation. Combining three of the region's signature varieties gives a wine with bright red and dark cherry fruit, a touch of spice, and the lively acidity Piedmont reds are known for. Barbera adds juiciness and freshness, Dolcetto contributes soft, approachable fruit, and Nebbiolo brings structure and subtle floral notes.
This wine is a versatile partner at the table. Its balanced body and food-friendly acidity suit classic Italian dishes such as tomato-based pastas, mushroom risotto, pizza, and cured meats, and it also works well with roast poultry, grilled sausages, and medium-aged cheeses. Serve it at a slightly cool cellar temperature, around 16-18°C, to bring out its fruit and freshness.
Presented in a standard 75cl bottle at £14.50, Manfredi Passo Del Bricco is a good choice for anyone who wants to explore Piedmont without paying for a single-varietal Barolo or Barbaresco. It suits weeknight dinners, casual gatherings with friends, and wine lovers looking for an authentic, great-value Italian red.
