Master of Verduno: elegance from Monvigliero, authenticity in Pelaverga
Based at Cascina Mosca along the panoramic road between Alba and Verduno, Diego Morra is a family estate rooted in the early 1900s and now led by the third generation of the Morra family. The estate farms roughly 30 hectares across Verduno, La Morra and Roddi, and is the single largest owner within Verduno's celebrated 20-hectare Monvigliero hillside, tending about 4 hectares of heirloom vines averaging 40 years of age. Diego Morra's Barolo Monvigliero has earned strong critical acclaim (94 Falstaff points for the 2018 vintage, 95 for the 2021), and the estate is equally passionate about Verduno Pelaverga, the rare, spicy indigenous variety that reflects the unique terroir of the commune. Traditional viticulture combined with modern precision yields wines defined by finesse, balance, and a distinct sense of place.
