About the wine

Bartolomeo Racca acquired the Montanello estate in 1864 and began to produce and sell the first Barolo as the seat of the Langhe winegrowers' cooperative. For five generations, the Montanello estate, located in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto, in the heart of the Barolo growing area, has belonged to the Racca family and is now managed by Alberto Racca and the sisters Maria Pia and Cristina. 11 ha of vineyards cover the property. From the outset, the hill in Montanello was considered one of the best growing areas in Barolo. Due to the composition of the soil and its optimal south, southwest and west exposure, the grapes can benefit optimally from the climatic conditions. Alberto Racca is an ambitious young winemaker who respects the traditions, but is open to everything new in winemaking.
