Printi Roero Riserva DOCG

Monchiero Carbone introduced Printi Rosso in 1997 in an effort to produce a wine comparable to the

famed structured Piedmontese reds. Their goal was to create a wine that would lend itself to long periods

of aging without forfeiting the Roero Nebbiolo’s characteristic elegance. Here, on the limy, east-facing

soil of Frailin hill, the grapes benefit from dry, hot summer days and the autumn sun’s lingering, lukewarm

rays. Fermentation is always long and slow, after which, the wine is drawn off into different barrels, where

it completes malolactic fermentation and ages for at least 24 months.

Recit Roero Arneis DOCG

Native to the Roero, where it has been grown since the 16th century, Arneis is one of the Piedmont’s

oldest white grape cultivars. This particular bottling is called “ReCit” which means “little King” in the local

dialect, and the Monchiero family believe that royalty is exactly what Arneis represents in the context of

native Italian varieties.

SIRE Nebbiolo Langhe DOC

Nebbiolo, one of the most sought after grape varieties in the world, holds sovereignty in the vine-growing

areas of Alba. The name, Sire, signifying a great ruler or king, is a tribute to the noble qualities this

Nebbiolo has to offer. Monchiero Carbone works vigorously to harvest the Nebbiolo grapes grown on the

rolling hills of the Langhe; the estate strives to cultivate grapes with faultless fragrance and structure in

order to produce a wine capable of expressing the notable characteristics of this great variety. Sire is a

testament to the power behind this regal rendition of a classic Piedmontese wine. From younger vines

on the southwestern hillsides of the vineyards in Canale, these Nebbiolo grapes are fermented following

the classic Piedmontese 15-day maceration period. This wine is noted for its all-around finesse, merging

varietal aromas of black raspberry and roses with undertones of nutmeg. Best paired with pasta dishes

and meat sauces, it is an approachable and versatile Nebbiolo wine.
