The Olympus of Traditional Barolo
Giacomo Conterno is the absolute benchmark for traditional Barolo and one of the most prestigious wineries in Italy. Founded in 1908 in Monforte d'Alba and now run by Roberto Conterno, the winery is famous for its rigorous and uncompromising approach: long maceration, aging in large Slavonian oak barrels, and total respect for the terroir. Monfortino, the first Barolo Riserva in history, is considered one of the longest-lived and most profound wines in the world, capable of evolving over decades.
Uncompromising Excellence
Conterno wines express a purity and authenticity that are rare in the modern wine scene. From Barolo Cascina Francia to the recent Cerretta e Arione cru, each bottle represents the essence of Nebbiolo in its most aristocratic form. The extremely limited production, the painstaking patience in the cellar, and the wait for the perfect moment before marketing reflect a philosophy that puts absolute quality before any commercial logic, creating wines of extraordinary emotional intensity.
