1981 | Cordero di Montezemolo | Monfalletto

The palate is powerful and complex. A wine of great finesse and an impressive length in the mouth.

Producer Information

Cordero di Montezemolo is an Italian wine producer based in the northeastern wine-producing region of Piedmont. The estate is primarily planted to Nebbiolo for the production of its select range of Barolo wines, from its Barolo Riserva Gorette, to the single-vineyard Enrico VI Barolo and Barolo Chinato. The Cordero di Montezemolo family have been the proprietors of the Monfalletto estate in Barolo since the 14th Century. Today the management of the estate falls to Giovanni Cordero di Montezemolo and his two children, Elena and Alberto. Together, they oversee the management of 38 hectares (94 acres) of vineyards, mainly planted to Nebbiolo, with smaller quantities of Barbera, Dolcetto, Chardonnay and Arneis. The family's Nebbiolo vineyards are predominantly found at the original Monfalletto estate and encompass approximately 17 hectares (42 acres) situated nearly 300 metres (1000 feet) above sea level. The grapes for the Barolo Riserva Gorette wine are sourced from the oldest vines on the southeastern slopes of the Gattera cru vineyard. This riserva wine is only produced in small quantities – around 1000 bottles – in the finest vintages. The wine is aged in small French oak barriques for approximately 44 months and is then aged in bottle for a minimum of six years.
