VINEYARD CREDENTIALS

Monprivato is doubtlessly one of the most prestigious of all MGAs not merely in the township of Castiglione Falletto but of the entire appellation as well.

 

A fame constructed on excellent soils, an enviable exposure and a long series of frequently memorable Barolo vintages, similar at times to those of Roche di Castiglione in terms of amplitude and fragrance, at times closer to the balanced austerity of Villero.
