Montalbera

Montalbera was established at the beginning of the 20th century and is now run by the Morando family. The estate farms around 130 hectares of its own vineyards: approximately 115 hectares are located near Castagnole Monferrato and Montemagno in Monferrato, with a further 15 hectares near Castiglione Tinella in the Langhe. The vineyards cover six hills, are predominantly planted using low-trained Guyot, and, according to the estate, are worked entirely by hand. The soils range from clayey to calcareous; varieties grown include Ruchè, Barbera, Grignolino, Nebbiolo, Moscato and Viognier.
