Barolo 'Monfalletto' by Cordero di Montezemolo is an historic wine of the winery coming from the carefully selected blend of the Monfalletto Estate vineyards in the town of La Morra. Age of vines are between 15 to 50 years, all with South /East and South/West exposures giving the perfect grapes and harmonious ripeness. The clayey and calcareous soils add elegance and complexity. Magnesium oxide and manganese in the soil facilitate the maturation of soft and dense tannins. Altitude between 250 and 300 meters above sea level.
Are currently 19 generations from 1340 have followed in the management of Monfalletto properties in the municipality of La Morra, in the middle of the Barolo wine production area.
Even today, the property is entirely family run. Giovanni Cordero di Montezemolo and his children Elena and Alberto are the protagonists of this millennium.
The historic single body, rare for the area, 28 hectares of vineyards covers all sides of the hill and has always grown with the different local varieties, selected and implanted differently depending on sun exposure, soil type and altitude.
