PAOLO CONTERNO

Located in the small village of Montforte D'Alba in Piedmont, Paolo Conterno was originally established as Casa della Ginestra in 1886, an estate dedicated to the production of the region’s indigenous grapes, Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto. The extraordinary terroir and microclimate of the legendary Ginestra Cru, renowned its deep brooding Barolos, play an integral role in the production of their exceptional wines. Giorgio Conterno is the fourth generation to lead the estate and does so with deep reverence for the family's long tradition of excellence.

Dark garnet colour. Elegant and harmonious in the aromas with persistent fruity, spicy, balsamic and mineral notes. Warm and strong body, balanced in flavours and powerful in aromas. Long and intense finish. It lends itself to long aging even for more than fifteen years.

 

The grapes are carefully selected to obtain a product with great structure and longevity.The freshly harvested product is subjected to crushing and destemming followed by a maceration of 18-25 days in special tanks which allow the noble components of the skin to be released continuously. When the optimal ratio between color and extracted tannins has been reached, the racking and the first racking are carried out.
