Why Marco Loves It

'A modern interpretation combined with traditional methods creates a new king in Barolo’.

For generations, the Monchiero family has farmed and grown grapes on the gorgeous Montanello estate. But, it was in the 1980s that they acquired a special cru in Castiglione Falletto, right in the heart of the Barolo region.

There has been a winery on the Castiglione Falletto site since the thirteenth century, due in no small part to its stunning south-east exposure. Today, the winery produces this wonderful Barolo, marrying the traditional style of winemaking in Barolo with a new generation of the Monchiero family. 

Favouring long maceration periods with skin contact and ageing in large Slavonian oak casks, Monchiero’s wines loyally express the flavours and aromas that make Piedmont’s wines unique. The result is a gorgeous wine that’s equally suited to drinking today or cellaring away for years to come.
