B‑21 website is a breeze to navigate so I ultimately found exactly what I wanted at a very competitive price point. The case I ordered earlier this week is scheduled to arrive Friday.

I recently dined at a Greek restaurant and fell in love with this wine. looked everywhere for it and found it here at B‑21. I bought a case and bonus, they offered free shipping (their $12.00 shipping fee isn't bad either for less than a case). The best part was that it was delivered a day earlier than expected. Would definitely buy here again. Thank you B‑21 for great service.

I have been buying ~2 cases of wine per month for 5‑6 years from B‑21, and there has yet to be a problem with a single bottle. The orders are always filled correctly and the wine itself is always in good shape ‑ a great company.

I’ve ordered twice from B21 now, and the service has been excellent! They’re selection is fantastic, and both orders were delivered exactly when they said (which was just a few days after ordering). I’ll definitely be using B21 again!!

2018 Giovanni Manzone Barolo Bricat (750ml)

Nebbiolo from Barolo, Piedmont, Italy

B-21 Top Recommendation

“A small producer who does magic with Nebbiolo” Wine Spectator

Crafted for lovers of classically styled Barolo, the elegant 95 pt. 2018 Giovanni Manzone Barolo Castelletto reveals engaging floral aromas and fresh, earthy dark red fruit with bright acidity and fine-grained, integrated tannins, an exceptional value from one of Piedmont’s “greatest under the radar gems” according to Vinous critic Antonio Galloni, promising years of enjoyment for Nebbiolo lovers and anyone looking to enjoy outstanding Cru Barolo more often.

Established nearly a century ago, the family run Giovanni Manzone winery is located at the top of a hill in Monforte d’Alba surrounded by estate vineyards spanning 8 hectares, now led by sixth generation winemaker Mauro and his sister Mirello working alongside their father Giovanni. Situated on a steep, sloping hillside at 450 meters above sea level, the estate’s one-hectare, high altitude Castelletto vineyard has been sustainably farmed without chemicals or pesticides for decades, its Nebbiolo vines planted in stony, limestone-rich marl that results in naturally lower yields. Fermented naturally with indigenous yeasts, the 2018 Barolo Castelletto was traditionally aged in large Slavonian oak casks for three years, followed by some resting time in concrete before bottling without filtering or fining, yielding lush aromas and textures in a muscular, finessed Barolo described as “a robust expression of Nebbiolo” by the Wine Advocate’s Monica Larner with over a decade of longevity ahead.

From a vintage producing "delicious, open-knit and approachable wines" according to Decanter, the seductive 95 pt. 2018 Giovanni Manzone Barolo Castelletto offers intensely aromatic fruit with silky tannins and notable complexity that’s charming in its youth but promising to age gracefully for years, a chance for Barolo aficionados to stock the cellar with beautifully crafted Nebbiolo at a bargain price and enjoy it often over the next five, ten or fifteen years.

The 2018 Barolo Bricat is a gorgeous, classy wine. Dried herbs, pine, menthol, spice and licorice give the 2018 tons of aromatic complexity to play off its red cherry fruit. The Bricat is a touch nervy in 2018. I would give it a few years to come together a bit more fully. Even so, it is impressive, especially for the vintage.

93 points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous (Oct 2022)

The 2018 Barolo Bricat leans toward full-bodied concentration (on the Nebbiolo scale) but stops a bit short of that with a leaner mid-palate performance that is characteristic of this vintage. The wine does deliver a pretty good ride along the way with dark fruit, earthy or ferrous tones and spicy toasted oak.

92 points, Monica Larner, Wine Advocate (Aug 2022)
