List of products by brand MONTE MALETTO

Monte Maletto is the personal project of Gian Marco Viano, a sommelier turned winemaker in the mountain vineyards of Carema. He grows organic Nebbiolo on steep stone terraces, crafting artisan wines that are pure, elegant, and rooted in heroic viticulture and alpine terroir.

Monte Maletto is a young and exciting winery born in 2015 in Carema, a small alpine village on the border between Piedmont and the Aosta Valley. The project was founded by Gian Marco Viano, a former sommelier with a background in Michelin-starred restaurants, who decided to shift from serving wine to producing it—driven by a deep passion for purity, authenticity, and terroir.

The vineyards of Monte Maletto are located in one of Italy’s most dramatic wine-growing landscapes: steep, terraced slopes supported by dry-stone walls, with high pergola-trained Nebbiolo vines rooted in stony alpine soils. Here, the cool climate and rugged terrain give birth to refined, mineral, mountain Nebbiolo wines with unmistakable character.

The estate follows a strictly organic approach, avoiding chemical inputs and experimenting with natural alternatives like seaweed and essential oils to reduce copper use. Winemaking is minimalist and low-intervention, aimed solely at expressing the essence of the grape and its mountain terroir.

Each bottle from Monte Maletto tells the story of Carema’s heroic viticulture, the hand-built terraces, the alpine breezes, and a winemaker who believes in letting nature speak. With very limited production and growing acclaim, Monte Maletto is emerging as a standout name in the new generation of Carema producers.
