Nebbiolo is the grape of Barolo the “king of the wines”. Originally coming from Piedmont, in the North West of Italy, the Nebbiolo takes its name from the fog (nebbia) that usually appears during the harvest season. In fact this is the last grape harvested in late October and early November. Monciraldo is produced in the Cascina Giacone’s area in Treiso d’Alba, on the right side of Tanaro river, at 440 m. above sea level. The vineyard is 19 years old, with about 4400 plants per hectare and the growing system is a Guyot traditional. The soil is mostly calcareous with natural low production per hectare.
