ORGANICALLY FARMED
WINE ADVOCATE 96 POINTS - "The organic Cordero di Montezemolo 2019 Barolo Gattera shows a rich and concentrated performance with robust aromas of dark fruit, dried cherry, plum, spice and soft tobacco. The blend comes from old vines within the Gattera MGA with a clone that produces especially small and compact clusters. This wine offers a 360-degree view onto a vintage that is remarked upon for the extra concentration and fruit weight displayed in the wines. There is a note of candied licorice on the full-bodied finish. This is a 6,200-bottle release."
From a single vineyard in La Morra, situated at the foot of a 150-year-old Lebanon cedar tree, on the highest Southwest slope of the Gattera cru.
Not many families can boast they have done anything for 19 generations...Since 1340, the Cordero di Montezemolos have been passionately cultivating the Monfalletto property in the town of La Morra, a historical and very rare single-body 69-acre vineyard that covers both sides of the hill. This affords the family the luxury of selecting the best local varieties according to sun exposure, soil type and altitude.
Today, Paolo Cordero di Montezemolo and his children Elena and Alberto are the benefactors of this great estate. Together they are combining their family's tradition and heritage with biodiversity and organic practices to preserve the land for generations to come and enhance the quality of what's inside the bottle. That quality is shining through!
