Producer Invalid info type

Roberto Conterno is the grandson of Giacomo Conterno and the current owner of the house of Giacomo Conterno.

Conterno stands today for some of the finest that Piedmont can deliver in terms of high-quality wine.

Conterno is a beacon for Barolo and Barbaresco wines. Here, wine is made as it always has been, which Roberto Giacomo does not intend to change.

Roberto Giacomo does not use temperature control during fermentation; the wine ferments under the given conditions alone, and there is no use of modern techniques or aids. Subsequently, the wine is placed in large barrels “botti” for up to 7 years.

Barbera d’Alba Cascina Francia ferments for 2-3 weeks and then matures for 2 years in large barrels.

Barolo Cascina Francia ferments for 3-4 weeks and then matures for 4 years in large barrels.

The star at Conterno is Monfortino. This wine is a tribute to the hometown Monforte d’Alba of Giacomo. The Nebbiolo grapes come from Cascina Francia in Serralunga. After 3-4 weeks of fermentation without any control, the wine lies in large barrels for 7 years before being bottled.

Monfortino is not only a star at Conterno but also represents all that Barolo stands for in the most exquisite manner. There is none above or below Monfortino, and Roberto Conterno has shown that the traditionalists in Piedmont still have the upper hand when it comes to sublime quality.
