The Wines

With the aim of preserving the distinctive characteristics of the grapes from each individual vineyard, the transformation of grapes into wine takes place in accordance with tradition and with the aid of advanced winemaking techniques, under the expert guidance of enologist Piero Ballario.

The winery's products fully reflect the characteristics of the soil on which the estate's vineyards are planted, enhancing the aromas and structure provided by the soil. The plots are located primarily in the Arenarie di Diano area, characterized by clay-loam soils that, with their high active limestone content (since it is a sedimentary soil), give the wines good structure, smoothness, and balance.

The soil composition and its excellent south, southwest, and west exposure produce a Barolo with good alcohol content and intense aromas, worthy of the ancient history of the estate and the cru.

While the wine ages in barriques, the cellar maintains a constant temperature of 16-17 degrees Celsius and humidity of around 80% year-round.

Tenuta Montanello produces the characteristic red wines of the Alba area in the Langhe:

Barolo DOCG, Langhe Nebbiolo DOC, Barbera d’Alba DOC, Dolcetto d’Alba DOC, and Langhe DOC Chardonnay.
The Barbera is produced partly by aging in barriques for 10 months (Barbera Crocetta), and partly by aging in stainless steel and in bottle.
The Langhe Nebbiolo and Dolcetto d’Alba are aged in stainless steel and in bottle.
