Paolo
Conterno
Paolo Conterno founded this estate in
the Monforte area of Barolo in 1886; today his grandson,
also named Paolo, leads the way with a team that includes
his wife, Caterina, and their two children, Marisa and Giorgio.
With seven hectares planted to Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto
in the celebrated Ginestra cru, the estate regularly presents
elegant wines of great structure that have excellent ageing
potential. Under the sage advice of Beppe Caviola, the family
enthusiastically pursues relatively traditional methods
that produce classic Baroli, yet they also introduce a kiss
of French oak to most bottlings.
