Winemaker Notes
For this Langhe Nebbiolo from Tenuta Montanello, 40% of the grapes come vineyards dated from 1943, 60% from 1992. First, delicate pressing is carried out to avoid tearing the skins, then fermentation at a controlled temperature (27-28 degrees) in steel tanks for 25 days.
Then follows the malolactic fermentation in steel and 12 months of aging in oak barrels from 25 to 50 hl.
The Story
Unlike many other producers, Alberto Racca is not interested in notoriety: his Barolo does not need awards to be considered a great wine. From a document from 1895 it emerges that his current winery was the first Social Cooperative in all Langhe area as it was the seat of Castiglione Falletto social winery. The winery counts 11 hectares in a single plot with south/west exposure at an altitude of 250 - 300 meters.
