Tenuta Montanello - Barolo di Castiglione Falletto 2016

Free shipping for orders over $349

Barolo Castiglione from Montanello is a classic expression of Nebbiolo, crafted with a profound respect for tradition and terroir. The vineyards, situated on calcareous clay soils, are farmed sustainably, avoiding synthetic chemicals. The winemaking philosophy enhances spontaneous fermentations and minimal intervention, allowing the wine to develop its natural complexity. Aged in large oak barrels, this Barolo gains refined tannins and depth.
Unlike many other producers, Alberto Racca is not interested in notoriety: his Barolo does not need awards to be considered a great wine. From a document from 1895 it emerges that his current winery was the first Social Cooperative in all Langhe area as it was the seat of Castiglione Falletto social winery. The winery counts 11 hectares in a single plot with south/west exposure at an altitude of 250 - 300 meters.
