Description

Still red Nebbiolo d'Alba DOC, 15% ABV, produced by Giacomo Conterno, 2022 vintage. A wine that embodies the history and passion of one of Piedmont's most celebrated wineries. The history of the Giacomo Conterno winery is conventionally traced back to 1908, when Giovanni Conterno and his family opened an inn and produced wine in the hamlet of San Giuseppe near Monforte d'Alba. Vinification takes place in 60-70 hectoliter oak vats. Aged for 44 months in large barrels and briefly in bottle. On the nose, it presents subtle aromas of red currants and raspberries, wild rose and dried violets, sweet spices, tea leaves, flint, cardamom, balsamic and mineral notes. Bright ruby color. Broad and enveloping on the palate, it is warm and soft, with structured and silky tannins and a brilliant fresh-savory underpinning. Long and persistent.

The beginning of the story of Giacomo Conterno winery is conventionally traced in 1908 when Giovanni Conterno and his family (including Giacomo, that is one of three children), returned to Italy after he emigrated to Argentina, they start an inn, producing wine, in the village at San Giuseppe in Monforte d'Alba. Giacomo grows, therefore, between the tavern and the winery until he goes to fight in the First World War as a gunner. Returning home, he devoted himself entirely to the production of wine, bringing it to be sold not only in Piedmont and Liguria, but throughout Italy. Read more
