The Monchiero family owns 25 acres of vineyard in Piedmont spread throughout the communes of Barolo and Alba. For generations the family farmed and grew grapes on the Montanello estate, outside the small town of Castiglione Falletto. In the 1950s, the brothers Remo and Maggiorino Monchiero started producing wine under their own family label. The small winery located in Castiglione Falletto was established in the 18th century and purchased by the Monchiero brothers in 1982.  The fruit for this Nebbiolo is from young vines on their Barolo estate vineyards centered around Castiglione Falletto.  Aged 18 months in neutral Slavonian botti.  Red cherry, red plum, rose petals, minerality.  Grippy tannins for a Langhe Nebbiolo.
