Enrico VI is a single-vineyard Barolo DOCG from roughly two hectares at 300 metres in the municipality of Castiglione Falletto — the estate's only Barolo drawn from a territory away from its La Morra vineyards in the Annunziata hamlet. The site has iron-rich
soil with a more evolved, compact clay, a southwest exposure, and vines over 50 years old, in a microclimate the estate describes as cooler and less ventilated than its neighbouring sites.
The producer characterises the wine as a Barolo of strong personality, sturdiness and earthiness with prominent mentholated notes, offering breadth and volume on the palate alongside an abundance of soft, sweet tannins.
The estate's roots lie with the Falletti family, who around 1800 kept Monfalletto as their most prized vineyard while exchanging other hill holdings. Commercial sales began around 1830-1840 under Giacinto Massimiliano Falletti and were expanded by Eulalia Dalla Chiesa di Cervignasco.
The property passed to the Cordero di Montezemolo family through the 1918 marriage of Maria Lydia Falletti to Paolo Cordero di Montezemolo, whose son Paolo became sole heir in 1941. That Paolo coined the name Enrico VI in the early 1970s to mark two things at once: the 1959 birth of his sixth child, Enrico, and the 1965 purchase of this vineyard.
The estate is now directed by Elena and Alberto Cordero di Montezemolo, after 19 generations.
Brasato al Barolo
Beef braised in Nebbiolo is the canonical Langhe pairing for a structured Barolo; the dish's deep savoury reduction meets the wine's earthiness and sturdiness, and the slow-cooked texture absorbs its considerable tannin.
Roast venison with juniper
Game meat's iron-tinged savour suits a wine of breadth and volume, while juniper's resinous edge chimes with the mentholated notes the producer identifies in this bottling.
Wild mushroom risotto
Earthy mushrooms mirror the wine's own earthy register directly, and the creamy starch of risotto rounds off the tannic grip typical of Castiglione Falletto fruit.
Product information compiled from producer, importer and reference sources.
Single-vineyard Barolo of elegance and structure: dark fruit, rose florality, and mineral complexity from 100% Nebbiolo.
Cordero Di Montezemolo's Barolo Enrico VI represents the pinnacle of single-vineyard Piedmontese winemaking. Crafted from 100% Nebbiolo, this wine displays the classic architecture of great Barolo: a full-bodied frame supported by medium-high tannins and vibrant acidity.
On the nose, dark plum and black cherry dominate, layered with floral rose petal notes and hints of tar and licorice. The palate reveals leather, tobacco, and cedar complexity, grounded by slate minerality and earthy undertones. This is a wine built for cellaring and food, with the structure and elegance to age gracefully while complementing the finest red meats and game.
