Since 1340, 19 generations at the Monfalletto property in the town of La Morra, center of the Barolo area• 38 hectares (94 acres) planted with Arneis, Chardonnay, Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo• 3 Barolo’s Cru: Barolo Monfalletto, Bricco Gattera and Enrico VI• Cordero di Montezemolo is one of the 11 estates in the “Accademia del Barolo”, a group of the most famous producers who promotes Barolo worldwide.In addition to the historical MONFALLETTO site in the Annunziata hamlet of La Morra, they have vineyards in Alba, Castiglione Falletto, Guarene and Cherasco. One of the distinctive features of their vineyards is that they are particularly large and unified in a few sites, unlike the majority of other local producers, who operate on “micro-plots” located in various parts of the area. This gives Cordero a logistical and operational advantage which facilitates quick and effective intervention, when necessary, guaranteeing a high level of consistency in terms of quality on each plot, as well as encouraging the real beneficial effect of organic cultivation. They cultivate their land in compliance with a 100% certified organic farming system, and the varieties they grow, which are typical of the area, Nebbiolo, Dolcetto, Barbera, Arneis and Chardonnay, are planted in varying locations, with different exposures and altitudes, depending on their natural predisposition to bear ripe and balanced fruit, based also on the type of soil and microclimate.They use these grapes to produce and offer a small selection of wine labels, all with protected geographical indications.
