Barolo DOCG Monfalletto 2016 Cordero di Montezemolo

The Barolo Monfalletto di Cordero di Montezemolo was born in Monfalletto vineyards, in the municipality of La Morra, in the province of Cuneo.

It is produced with 100% Nebbiolo grapes, harvested at perfect maturity between the end of September and October. The vinification takes place separately, vineyard by vineyard, with maceration of 4-5 days and fermentation for 10-12 days at controlled temperature. After the malolactic fermentation, the different batches are refined in various types of French and Slavonian wood between 18 and 24 months, followed by assembly and bottling with a further break in glass for 12 months before being marketed.

The Barolo Monfalletto di Cordero di Montezemolo is cloaked in a beautiful intense garnet color. It has evident floral notes on the nose which are accompanied by hints of tobacco, cocoa, cherry in alcohol and raspberry. A wine with great gustatory richness, it is particularly full-bodied and elegant.

It combines well with truffle dishes and game.
