Wine Spectator

Bruce Sanderson

Cherry, strawberry, white pepper, earth and mineral flavors grace this dense, beefy red. Balanced, if a bit compact and crisp on the finish now. A beam of vibrant acidity drives its length. Best from 2027 through 2043. 500 cases made.

James Suckling

I like the mossy and wet-herb complexity to the aroma profile, along with lots of dried flowers, watermelon, mulberries and sweet strawberries. Creamy, textured and full-bodied with a delicious core of sweet berry fruit. Firm, very fine tannins that spread across the palate. Very long. From organically grown grapes. Old vines over 50 years old. Try in 2028.

Wine Enthusiast

J.P.

Driven by a bold character, with a dominant presence of black cherries simmered in their own juices, complemented by an infusion of herbal nuances and the subtle charm of dried flowers all combine to create a seductive nose. Rich and rounded on the palate with tannins that present themselves without overpowering any part of the wine allowing the vibrant fruit to shine on the long and lifted finish. Drink Now - 2040

The estate

Located in the village of La Morra, the Cordero di Montezemolo estate is an emblematic benchmark of the Langhe winegrowing area in northern Piedmont, Italy.

The vineyard

Cordero di Montezemolo oversees nearly 51 hectares of vines planted on exceptional terroirs in Piedmont. The estate’s wines are recognized across borders for their complexity, power, and great aging potential.

The wine

Produced under the Barolo appellation, Enrico VI 2020 by Cordero di Montezemolo is made from a selection of old vines, some over 60 years old, from the Castiglione Falletto vineyard. Situated at 300 meters above sea level and facing southwest, this 2.2-hectare site lies on iron oxide–rich soils composed of clay, silt, and sand.

Winemaking and aging

Hand-harvested in early October, the grapes undergo fermentation and maceration in stainless steel tanks for about 10 days. After racking, malolactic fermentation takes place in barrels of different sizes from France and Slavonia. Barrel aging for 18 to 19 months is followed by an additional 18 to 19 months of bottle aging before release.

Grape variety

100% Nebbiolo.
