The Langhe is one of the world’s best-known winemaking areas; situated in Southern Piedmont, it is a land of castles and magnificent vineyards, awarded UNESCO World Heritage status in 2014. This stunning area is home to the Fortemasso winery, in the municipality of Monforte d’Alba: a charming, recently renovated property, perfectly incorporated into the surrounding vineyard landscape. The five hectares of estate-owned vineyards devoted to the production of Barolo DOCG and Barolo Riserva DOCG are situated around the winery, within the area of the Castelletto Menzione Geografica Aggiuntiva (MGA): nebbiolo vines grow in a predominantly sandy soils and enjoy a cool and breezy climate. Eight additional hectares are located in San Sebastiano di Monforte d’Alba for the production of Langhe Nebbiolo DOC, Barbera d’Alba DOC and Dolcetto d’Alba DOC. The production philosophy of Fortemasso can be summarized in one word: contemporaneity. Fortemasso is one of the six wineries that are part of the Agricole Gussalli Beretta group.
