Montalbera's 'Il Don' Monferrato DOC Nebbiolo Superiore is a powerful red wine made from 100% Nebbiolo and is best enjoyed with risotto with truffles, grilled meat, game dishes and firm cheeses.
Welcome to Castagnole Monferrato and Montemagno, where this beautiful red wine comes to life amid Piedmont's breathtaking landscapes. Our vineyards are lovingly tended, with low Guyot training systems and 8-9 buds on the fruiting vine, to produce the finest Nebbiolo grapes.
With an emphasis on traditional red vinification, we nurture each grape in the process, resulting in a wine that speaks of craftsmanship and dedication. After harvesting, the wine matures in stainless steel tanks and partially in French oak barrels, before being placed horizontally in the bottle at a controlled temperature.

On pouring, you see an intense purple-red wine with light brick reflections. A visual spectacle that excites the senses and the promise of an unforgettable experience with every sip.
When you stick your nose in the glass, you are greeted by an intense and persistent aroma, with powerful and characteristic hints of Nebbiolo, accompanied by notes of dried rose and violets, lightly spiced with clove, black pepper, nutmeg and a hint of light jam. It's like a journey through the rich flavours of the region, where every scent tells a new story.
And then the taste - elegant in its power, with subtle tannins and the distinctive acidity of Monferrato's Nebbiolo grapes. This wine is a true delight for any lover, from relaxed evenings to festive dinners.
Montalbera, located in the picturesque Monferrato region of Piemonte, has a rich heritage that spans three generations of the esteemed Morando family. Their unwavering commitment to this land is palpable in every vine that adorns their 115 hectares of vineyards. Specializing in the indigenous Ruchè variety, Montalbera stands as the leading producer, accounting for 60% of the global market share. The heart of their operation lies in Castagnole Monferrato, where the expansive estate not only houses vineyards but also the cellar, a sanctuary where wines undergo careful fermentation and refinement.
