From the Monchiero family estate close to the town of Alba in Piedmont this stunning Nebbiolo was the best we have tasted for a very long time and it is extremely well priced for the quality. It is a wine we will all be buying ourselves and there is no higher recommendation than this! Tasting note: A beautifully made nebbiolo - clear and bright with crunchy dry red berry fruit and just the right amount of acidity. All is in balance here. A baby barolo - no - much better and more individual than that.
In Castiglione Falleto, in the heart of the Barolo region, the Monchiero family established their wine business in the 1950s, initially only selling their grapes, but by the 1970s making their own wine.
Vittorio Monchiero has been at the helm since the 1980s, whilst his son Luca has recently joined the business.
A very pleasant Langhne wine. Reasonable value from an expensive wine region. Would buy again.
