Draftsmanship, racing passion, and Piedmont Nebbiolo: Cordero di Montezemolo releases \u201cIl Tratto,\u201d a collectible Barolo limited edition illustrated by Boban Pesov.<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A drawn line holds tangible tension: the precision of an architectural blueprint, the curve of a vineyard row, the contour of a racing chassis. In Il Tratto<\/em>, Piedmont\u2019s historic Cordero di Montezemolo estate <\/strong>channels such creative discipline into an ambitious Barolo limited edition. Centered on the 2022 Monfalletto vintage, the release pairs three cellar-worthy bottles with original graphic plates by illustrator Boban Pesov<\/strong>, grounding high-elevation Nebbiolo in a tactile encounter with Langhe cultural heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pesov builds the visual narrative around a figure inspired by Paolo Cordero di Montezemolo<\/strong>, protagonist of a journey spanning over seventy years of projects, passions, and visionary pursuits. Moving from agriculture to architecture, and from precision mechanical drafting to motor racing, Paolo embodied a genuinely polymathic spirit<\/strong>. Today, his vision animates every bottle, establishing the famed La Morra <\/strong>estate as a vital cultural crossroads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Cultural Vision Behind A Landmark Barolo <\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

“With Il Tratto, our family sought to articulate Barolo Monfalletto through an expansive vocabulary reaching past conventional tasting notes,” explains Alberto Cordero di Montezemolo<\/strong>. “The endeavor springs from a profound desire to convey our history, family ethos, and visceral alliance with the Langhe hills by uniting fine wine, visual art, and humanistic culture. Grandfather Paolo consistently viewed wine as pure culture long before an agricultural commodity. Our Barolo limited edition distills his progressive outlook, turning each bottle into a resonant chronicle capable of speaking directly to collectors through emotion, imagery, and enduring memory.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boban Pesov: Graphic Narrative Across the Monfalletto Cru<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

To articulate generational heritage visually, the family commissioned artist Boban Pesov, acclaimed for combining imaginative freedom, narrative rigor, and crisp graphic impact. Pesov\u2019s ability to balance historical memory with forward-looking perspective<\/strong> made him an ideal partner to interpret centuries of Cordero di Montezemolo custodianship atop the Monfalletto hill<\/strong>. Under his pen, terraced vineyard slopes, cellar architecture, archival portraits, and viticultural ethos coalesce into an organic contemporary dialogue, lending fresh graphic weight to classic Piedmont winemaking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“An immediate rapport developed with Boban, personal as much as professional,” explains Elena Cordero di Montezemolo<\/strong>. “He shares our dedication to the Langhe, possessing an instinctive feel for local contours, light, and cultural traditions. Our search focused on a collaborator unwilling to remain a detached observer. We wanted an artist prepared to inhabit our history fully. Boban accomplished such immersion with remarkable ease, crystallizing family recollections, personal pursuits, and shared ideals into imagery of genuine emotional power. His draftsmanship strikes an equilibrium between ancestral roots and future horizons\u2014the vital pulse animating our Barolo limited edition.”<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n
