Cordero di Montezemolo
At the very heart of the Langhe, square in the center of the Barolo region, there is a cedar tree that has stood over 30 hectares of vines for 150 years. Year after year, this prized stretch of land works silently to produce some of the wines that have made Piedmont famous all over the world.
The Monfalletto estate has belonged to the Falletti family for more than six centuries and is now the property of Giovanni and Enrico Cordero di Montezemolo, nephews of the Marchioness Luigia Falletti and sons of Paolo Cordero di Montezemolo. It was Paolo Cordero di Montezemolo that began producing and marketing Piedmontese wines in 1940. Up until then, production had always been destined solely for direct consumption.
