Since 1340, 19 generations one after another, have managed the Monfalletto property in the town of La Morra, the center of the production of Barolo wine. Even today, the property is entirely family-run. Over the course of the last 50 years, Paolo Cordero di Montezemolo and then his son Giovanni, have expanded the grape vine cultivation for wine production for the Winery. Currently, the total vineyard area of grape production for all Cordero di Montezemolo wines is 38 hectares.
Wine Making:
Maceration takes place over 6-8 days in stainless steel tanks, followed by 10-12 days of fermentation. Wine is then drawn off into small French oak barrels to undergo malolactic fermentation. Aged slowly for 19-21 months in small French oak barriques.
Style:
Silky & Smooth
Dominant Flavour:
Jam
Red Fruit
Licorice
Food Pairings:
An aristocratic wine that finds its ideal match in game, jugged hare, braised beef, chamois, roe deer, wild boar, venison, and pigeon. Superb with dishes garnished with white truffles from Alba, like cardoon flan with fondue and duck ravioli. A Beijing duck, or truffle dumplings turned out to be perfect matching too!
