I was super-impressed with the wines I tasted at Cordero di Montezemolo. The 2016s are quite simply the most captivating Barolos I have ever tasted here. Alberto Cordero di Montezemolo gave the 2016s 8-10 days on the skins. As usual, malolactic fermentation took place in steel. The single-vineyard Barolos spend 18 months in 30HL casks, while the Monfalletto, a much larger bottling, is aged in a mix of cask and smaller barrels (50% new), for a longer period of time driven largely by the practical constraints of blending a large cuvée.
