This is giving big Barolo energy. Aromatically complex and quietly powerful, with red cherry, redcurrant, rose petals, dried flowers, blood orange, and earthy undertones. On the palate it’s full-bodied yet precise, with juicy red fruit up front, spice and savoury depth through the middle, and firm but well-balanced tannins carrying a long, persistent finish. It's fragrant, structured, and built for the long haul.

We’re heading straight into Barolo heartland now - Castiglione Falletto, where Nebbiolo grows up serious, structured, and built for the long game. The Monchiero family have been here for generations, quietly farming the estate before bottling even crossed their minds. In the 1950s, brothers Remo and Maggiorino made the call to stop just selling grapes and start making wine under their own name - and that’s when things really clicked. Their historic cellar (dating back to the 13th century, no big deal) became the home of a very clear philosophy: tradition first, always. That torch was carried forward by Vittorio Monchiero, trained at Alba’s renowned oenological institute and fiercely committed to the classic Barolo way. No flashy shortcuts here, we're talking long macerations, patient ageing, and time in large Slavonian oak casks to let Nebbiolo unfold slowly and honestly. Today, the next generation is stepping in, with sons Luca and Stefano joining the fold, ensuring this is very much a living, breathing family estate. The wines are unapologetically traditional: expressive of place, built to age, and made for people who love Barolo for what it really is.
