MONTFORTE
Special Wines
Welcome to Marchesa Montforte for exclusive access to the Piemonte WInes from small boutique vineyards curated just for our Private Wine Club members.
We don’t do supermarket labels. We do the Langhe and Alta Langa as they were meant to be tasted: raw, unfiltered, and unapologetically artisanal.
We source from the up-and-comers—the small family wineries where the "winemaker" is usually the one with the dirtiest boots. These are bottles made the old-fashioned way, in tiny quantities that the big guys can’t touch. Real people. Real terroir.
Simply message us and we will send you the current list of available wines that we can ship directly to you. We are your personal wine shopper based in Italy.

Red Wines: The Realm of Nebbiolo and Barbera
At the heart of the Langhe, the Nebbiolo grape reigns supreme, creating wines that are both intense and intricate. We offer the full lineage of this iconic variety:
Barolo & Barbaresco: The pinnacle of Piedmontese winemaking. Discover Barolo, known as the "king of wines," with its power and long potential, and Barbaresco, often described as its elegant "queen," both offering classic aromas of rose, tar, and cherry.
Langhe Nebbiolo DOC: A fantastic opportunity to experience the signature complexity of Nebbiolo in a more approachable style, often using declassified fruit from top vineyards but made for earlier drinking.
Barbera d’Alba DOC: A versatile and food-friendly red, Barbera is loved for its high acidity, minimal tannins, and juicy red fruit character.
Dolcetto d’Alba DOC: The everyday red of choice in the Langhe, Dolcetto offers a soft, fruit-forward profile that is meant to be enjoyed young.
White Wines: Freshness and Versatility
Complementing the structured reds, our selection of Langhe whites showcases native and international varieties that thrive on the rolling calcareous hills:
Langhe Arneis DOC: The leading white variety of the area, known for its crisp acidity, floral notes of chamomile and jasmine, and delicious orchard fruit flavors.
Langhe Favorita DOC: Favorita produces bright, fresh whites with vibrant citrus notes and a signature salinity.
Sparkling Wines: High Altitude Elegance from Alta Langa
We are delighted to include a curated selection of Alta Langa DOCG wines. These sparkling wines offer a unique expression of the Piedmontese terroir from high-altitude vineyards (over 250 meters).
Methodo Classico: Exclusively produced using the traditional method (like Champagne or Franciacorta).
Pinot Nero and Chardonnay: Blended to create structured, complex sparkling wines.
Vintage and Long Aging: Every Alta Langa is vintage-dated (millesimato) and undergoes a minimum of 30 months of aging on the lees, resulting in rich, textured wines with a fine bead and complex notes of toasted brioche and white flowers.
