The Monsordo Bernardina Estate in the 90s underwent
significant ampelographic changes. Alongside the traditional
varieties, a series of foreign varieties were planted; the idea was
to observe their potential and limitations in the region of
Piedmont, and their capacity to strongly exhibit expressiveness
and performance in the glass. After several years of singular
production, in 1997, the project became to create a unique wine
blending the varieties that were best acclimatized to the region.
From that moment Cabernet, Merlot and Syrah, each made
separately, were aged in wood and then blended in varying
percentages depending on the year, and put in the
characteristic bottle that bears the name of the estate.
Monsordo is a wine with a relatively modern character, able to
express the characteristics of its component varieties but also
strongly influenced by the Langa terroir: an international wine
but with a distinctly Piedmontese accent.
