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 300m (1000ft) 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. The estate's original Nebbiolo vineyards have also been supplemented by the purchase of a two-hectare (five-acre) portion of the Villero cru vineyard in Castiglione Falletto, which provides the basis for the winery's Enrico VI Barolo label. The family also owns vineyards in Roero where it cultivates Barbera grapes for its Barbera d'Alba wines. Cordero di Montezemolo's portfolio also includes several single-varietal white wines from Arneis and Chardonnay, both grown on estate-owned vineyards in the Langhe region. The estate's Viaventi spumante is a blend of Chardonnay (95 percent) and Pinot Noir (5 percent) grapes. The wine is produced using the Methodo Classico method and spends approximately 30 to 48 months on its lees. A Grappa di Barolo and Barolo Chinato are also produced. The estate also boasts a number of homestay vacation options, known as AgriSuite, on the property.
