GIACOMO CONTERNO

Conterno is located just outside Monforte d'Alba, in Italy’s North-West Piemonte region. Giacomo Conterno produces arguably one of the world’s best expressions of the Nebbiolo grape, their Barolo Monfortino Riserva which is only produced in exceptional vintages. This wine is aged for at least 7 years in traditional large oak ‘botti’ (barrels) before bottling. The Monfortino is Giacomo Conterno’s signature wine and requires considerable bottle ageing to evolve, soften the tannins, and develop the liquorice, rose and tar aromas that characterise this outstanding wine.

The estate is currently run by Roberto Conterno who assumed control in 2003, when his father Giovanni Conterno passed away. Giovanni was the eldest son of Giacomo Conterno, who had founded the winery in conjunction with his father Giovanni (Roberto’s great-grandfather). Giovanni and Giacomo bottled their first Barolo Monfortino Riserva in 1920 and Giacomo ran the estate from 1934 until he passed control to his sons Giovanni and Aldo in 1961. In 1969 the two brothers parted company and Aldo set up his own estate called, Poderi Aldo Conterno.

Today the Giacomo Conterno estate owns approximately 14 hectares of vineyards with a firm focus on Nebbiolo and Barbera (9.4 hectares of Nebbiolo and 4.6 hectares of Barbera). Roberto practices organic viticulture, low yields of approximately 30 hectolitres/hectare and traditional winemaking techniques, producing long-lived, complex and earthy wines. Cascina Francia was purchased in 1974, with the 1978 vintage being the first from the vines, however the name only appeared on the label in 1980.
