Description
A single mid slope vineyard in Castiglione Falletto forms the core of the 2017 Cordero di Montezemolo Barolo Enrico VI, planted to old vine Nebbiolo on compact clay limestone and sand associated with the Helvetian formation. Southeast exposure provides steady sunlight, while cooling valley currents help temper ripening in a warm year. The estate farms with organic methods, keeping yields low through manual canopy management and selective hand harvesting calibrated to vine age and soil variation across the parcel. Fermentation takes place in temperature controlled tanks with native or neutral yeasts, and maceration is directed toward structural refinement. Élevage continues in large casks and seasoned barriques to encourage gradual integration without overtly reshaping the vineyard’s natural architecture. Within the range, Enrico VI stands as a central single cru bottling, offering a technical reading of Castiglione Falletto’s limestone driven hillside conditions through focused viticulture and measured cellar work.
