Cordero di Montezemolo Barolo Monfalletto 2018

This beefy red is highlighted by black cherry, blackberry, vanilla and oak spice flavors. Muscular tannins set the pace in this version, with the fruit and savory elements buried for now. Ends with a hard, lightly astringent edge. Best from 2025 through 2042. 4,300 cases made.

Primary Grape
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo originated in Piedmont in Italy, where it remains the region's most important red grape. Its name comes from the Italian word nebbia, which means fog, a feature of the hills where the grape traditionally grows. Nebbiolo is thick-skinned, early-budding and late-ripening; it needs long periods of sunshine to ripen fully and is often planted on south- or southwest-facing hillsides for maximum exposure. The best examples come from calcareous marl vineyards, with some planted in sandy soils.
