Mondano 2022

Mondano is born from a single vineyard—one of the highest and most wind-kissed parcels on the estate. Perched above the rolling hills, this site enjoys constant breezes and a full Southern exposure, a rare combination that slowly concentrates color, flavor, and fragrance in each cluster. Season after season, the vine seems to gather not only sunlight, but also the quiet intensity of the landscape, distilling it into a Nebbiolo of exceptional depth.

This is a Nebbiolo shaped by “blue” sensations: ripe plum, blackcurrant, wild blueberry. These fruit tones stretch into darker, more mysterious notes—graphite, violet petals crushed between the fingers, a hint of cool earth after rain. A subtle balsamic lift adds brightness, like a ribbon of fresh air threading through the wine.

On the palate, Mondano is both powerful and deliberate. The tannins feel sculpted rather than strict, firm but refined, guiding the wine across the tongue in slow, confident steps. There is tension here, and elegance; richness, yet remarkable clarity. The finish lingers with a saline whisper, as though the wine is reluctant to leave the senses too soon.

Mondano is not simply a Nebbiolo — it is the voice of a single hillside, captured in a bottle.
