Monchiero
In Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Barolo region, brothers Remo and Maggiorino started selling their grapes in the 1950’s. They decided after a while to make wine themselves.
In the 80’s Vittorio Monchero, son of Maggiorino, graduated from the college of viticulture and became involved in the business.
The crus of Nebbioio grapes for Barolo are situated in the best hillsides in the municipalities of Castiglione Falletto & La Morra. Since the 90’s the vineyards have been completely replanted following the best grafting and training techniques.
From pressing to bottling, winemaking and ageing, the cellar is the place where Vittorio Monchiero’s work gives its results to create traditional Langa wines for the lovers of this region who want to “taste”the terroir.
Barolo, Barbera and Nebbiolo meet the wood in the large Slavonian oak barrels. Each wine is processed according to its specific technique, always keeping in mind the tradition, especially for Barolo.
They have built a special ageing section dedicated to the King of Wines. The cellar has been renovated over the last few years and the family have purchased new barrels and new stainless-steel vats for young wines.
In 2017 his son Luca joined the winery and later, his second son Stefano, attended agricultural school and now is also helping to continue the family tradition.
