Barolo Monroj®, Teo Costa

New

Although for decades wine-makers in Piemonte have somehow “rested on their laurels” and Barolo and Barbaresco have slowly suffered a loss in popularity, Barolo remains - being fully acknowledged today as - one of the greatest wines in the world, rich in tradition and history, incomparable in character. The growing area is strictly limited by the D.O.C.G. regulation like for the Barbaresco wine and includes only 11 villages. Barolo and La Morra are part of the so-called morphological “tortorian” sub-zone where the composition of the soil, the exposure and the climate give the wine mellow and fruity sensations along with strength and structure. From the grapes of its “Monroj” vineyard at La Morra, beautifully placed on a hill top facing the Monviso mountain peak and the French Alps, the Teo Costa Winery produces its “ Monroj”, a Barolo of rare complexity and delicacy
