Vineyards
Monvigliero is widely regarded as the “Grand Cru” of Verduno and one of the most prestigious vineyards in Barolo. This southwest-facing natural amphitheater sits at 200–300 feet above sea level, with 50-year-old vines planted at high density in calcareous clay soils. The site’s dry climate and well-draining soils drive concentration and precision. Wines from Monvigliero are known for their finesse and elegance, balanced by a touch of structure, with a complex aromatic profile of floral and spice notes—hallmarks of Verduno terroir.
Winemaking
The wine is fermented in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, followed by post-fermentation maceration. It is racked after 22–25 days, with malolactic fermentation completed under controlled conditions. The wine is then aged in large oak barrels and further refined in bottle, spending 6 months on its lees. Selected yeast strains are used throughout fermentation.
