Giacomo Conterno founded this winery, Giovanni made it famous in the world and Roberto is carrying out the activity with the same seriousness and passion of his predecessors.
In 1908 Giovanni Conterno founded a tavern in San Giuseppe, near Monforte d’Alba, and between 1912 and 1920 began to produce his first Barolo reserve in both editions.
All the grapes for winemaking come from the vineyard in Cascina Franciaquot located in Serralunga d’Alba (CN) consisting of a single plot of 15 hectares. The main types of grapes grown are Langhe Freisa, Dolcetto d’Alba, Barbera d’Alba and Nebbiolo da Barolo, of which Cascina Francia stands out, and Barolo Reserve Monfortino, aged at least 7 years in large oak barrels.
Wine Spectator describes his Barbera: it appears dark in color, rich in nose, of fruit and floral scents, where hints of raspberry and cherry stand out. In the mouth it is soft and with good balance.
The passion and meticulousness of Giacomo Conterno make of his products the myths of Barolo and of enology as a whole.
His wines that are aged in large oak barrels for 45 months tell an extraordinary story of quality and prestige.
