Description

The Barolos of Giacomo Conterno are renowned for their extraordinary combination of power, subtlety and longevity, and to many represent the apogee of Italian fine wines. Giacomo Conterno produced Barolo Monfortino for the first time in 1934. It was the first Barolo wine to be made in what is now considered the `classic` style. To many aficionados, it is the ultimate expression of Nebbiolo.
