Barolo Monvigliero DOCG 2021 - Cantina Bel Colle

Barolo Monvigliero – Bel Colle | The Graceful Balance of Verduno’s Iconic Cru

Barolo Monvigliero by Bel Colle hails from the prestigious Monvigliero cru in Verduno, a site famed for producing the Nebbiolo’s most refined and nuanced expressions. This natural amphitheater, with southwest exposure and calcareous-clay soils, offers ideal conditions for wines of elegance, balance, and longevity.

Made exclusively from Nebbiolo grapes, the wine undergoes fermentation in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks, with about 15 days of maceration. After malolactic fermentation, it is aged for 36 months in Slavonian oak casks, followed by an additional 6 months in bottle.

It displays a garnet red color with orange hues. The bouquet is broad and elegant, with aromas of red berries, plum, cherry, and hints of fine spice, such as black pepper. On the palate, it is silky and well-balanced, with polished tannins and a long, savory finish.

Perfect with game dishes, braised meats, or aged cheeses, this Barolo also excels in contemplative tastings, where its aging potential and finesse can fully unfold.

Bel Colle Winery – Verduno, Piedmont

TRADITION AND INNOVATION IN THE HEART OF THE LANGHE

Founded in 1974 in Verduno by Franco and Carlo Pontiglione with Giuseppe Priola, Bel Colle Winery stands today as a benchmark in Piedmontese winemaking. Since 2015, it's been part of the Bosio family legacy—four generations of winemakers blending tradition with modern precision.

Its 10 hectares of vineyards stretch across Verduno, the Langhe, and Asti hills. Bel Colle is best known for its Barolo DOCG from the prestigious Monvigliero and Bussia crus, and for producing Verduno Pelaverga DOC, a fragrant red from a rare native grape.

Led by winemakers Luca Bosio and Mario Albrito, the winery embraces sustainable farming, using only organic compounds and hand-harvesting. Fermentations rely on native yeasts, and aging occurs in French and Slavonian oak, highlighting each wine’s varietal character and terroir.
