With a dream of one day bottling their own Barolo, brothers Enrico & Marco Faccenda purchased this 35-hectare property in 2033. Enrico and Marco sustainably-farm multiple vineyards site among the rolling hills of Roero and Langhe, displaying a talent for crafting delicious and approachable wines from their 30-40+ year old vines grown in calcareous-clay soils. Today, their impressive lineup includes vibrant whites of Favorita and Arneis, as well as reds from Barbera and Nebbiolo. The Faccenda brothers strive to produce textbook representations of their terroirs while making wines that possess incredible QPRs.
Guidobono’s le Coste di Monforte d’Alba Barolo sits a light-to-mid ruby in the glass with a slight brickish rim. Intoxicatingly aromatic, this Barolo offers a beautiful bouquet of macerated raspberries, alpine strawberries and cherry accented with hints of rose petal, licorice and spice. The medium-bodied palate is broad and generous with mouthwatering red fruits interweaved with fine-grained tannins and a savory umami earthiness. Guidobono’s Barolo finishes smooth and minutes-long. The perfect pairing for osso buco or spezzatino di manza (Italian beef stew.)
