2024 Cordero di Montezemolo Langhe Arneis, Piedmont, Italy

ABOUT THIS WINE

The most typical and traditional white wine from the Alba area. Made with grapes from various distinctive localities between La Morra, Alba, Guarene and Castagnito. A perfect combination of different but interconnected expressions of this grape, offering notes of dried chamomile, green apple and ripe peach. Vinified in stainless steel tanks, it ferments at a low temperature for several weeks and rests on its fine lees until late winter, when it is bottled to grace our tables a few weeks later.

ABOUT THIS PRODUCER

Cordero di Montezemolo is one of the most historic and respected family-owned wineries in Piedmont, located in the heart of the Barolo DOCG zone in La Morra. The estate’s documented winemaking history dates back to 1340, making it one of the oldest continuously run properties in the Langhe. Today, the winery remains in the hands of the Cordero di Montezemolo family, now spanning nineteen generations, and is widely regarded as a benchmark producer of classic, age-worthy Barolo.

The estate comprises more than 50 hectares of vineyards spread across some of the Langhe’s most prestigious areas, including La Morra, Castiglione Falletto, Alba, Guarene, and Cherasco. Unlike many producers in the region who work with small, fragmented parcels, Cordero di Montezemolo benefits from large, contiguous vineyard holdings, allowing for consistent vineyard management and a clear expression of site. All vineyards are farmed organically, reflecting a long-standing commitment to sustainability, biodiversity, and respect for the land. A towering Lebanese cedar planted in 1856 stands on the property and has become a symbol of the estate’s heritage.
