Tradition and innovation. This is the oxymoron on which the Montaribaldi company grounds its great success. Founded in 1968 in the very heart of Barbaresco by Giuseppe Talliano and his wife, it was then taken over in 1994 by their sons Luciano and Roberto. Now the whole family is running it, brewing with passion the best quality wines while always respecting the oldest traditions.As matter of fact, in the last few years, the company has decided to bet on innovation without changing its best traditions. It is exactly that which makes the company able to continuously improve the quality of their wines, while always promoting their land. Such careful management, along with the favorable climate conditions, the richness of its soil, the implementation of new biodynamic techniques, the accurate selection of wines and the careful vinification let Montaribaldi obtain a wide range of excellent, unique wines which are appreciated all over the world and which have become a clear example of the “glocal” philosophy.

This family winery is set in a beautiful location. Silvia gave us such a warm and friendly welcome. We tried 4 of their red wines and the pours were very generous. Silvia also provided cheese, salami, bread sticks and an assortment of cookies that went perfectly with the Barolo! The Barolo was our favorite and they have older vintages available for purchase so you can enjoy them now! We also got a beautiful wooden case to add to our collection! Silvia makes hazelnut meringue style cookies that were really delicious and they’re available for purchase as well as her homemade jam. We met Francesco as he was passing through the room and he stopped to welcome us and shake our hand. A wonderful winery and really great staff!

Rolling hills, soft breezes, intense sun around harvest time, the entire Langhe is a treasure. Its curving roads deliver one scenery after another, with medieval castles, classic churches, cozy restaurants and lively wine bars. No wonder UNESCO listed the entire region as a patrimony of mankind. The region needs to be explored slowly: drive leisurely or ride a bike, or, if that is your style, hike. There are hundreds of hostels and B&Bs, hotels ranging from the inexpensive to the luxurious, and a similarly broad range of dining options. But you visit because of the wines. Arneis, Favorita, Cortese and the enormous flexibility of Nebbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto and Moscato offer you an endless selection of wines for all tastes.

In juli 2020 we visited the winery of Marchesi di Barolo. The winery is very nice located and decorated. We had a guided tour during which we learned about the history and the way the wines are stored. It was very facinating to see the big wine barrels in which the wines are stored untill they are ready to be bottled. The tour ended in the shop where all their wines can be bought. Unfortunately the wine tasting was limited due to COVID-19. We bought some wines which tasted fantastic. In short it was a very interesting visit which we can recommend to everyone visiting the Barolo area.
