On the nose, it offers a clear aromatic sequence, where blackberry and cherry in spirit blend with notes of mushrooms, truffle, leather and liquorice. The palate is enveloping, guided by \u003cstrong\u003esilky tannins\u003c\/strong\u003e and supported by a \u003cstrong\u003emarked minerality\u003c\/strong\u003e that prolongs its persistence. Designed to evolve over time, it guarantees a \u003cstrong\u003elongevity of over twenty-five years\u003c\/strong\u003e, presenting itself as a rigorous interpretation of Barolo Riserva.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere it comes from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe roots of this wine lie in Piedmont, among the slopes of Monforte d’Alba. The story of Giacomo Conterno began in 1908, distinguished by a profound knowledge of the land. Production comes from careful work in the vineyard, aimed at identifying the \u003cstrong\u003ebest plots\u003c\/strong\u003e, vinified separately to enhance the identity of each individual parcel. This precise interpretation of the soil is reflected in a \u003cstrong\u003eruby red colour\u003c\/strong\u003e with garnet highlights, making the glass ideal for accompanying \u003cstrong\u003egame and mature cheeses\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduced only in the most favourable vintages, the must undergoes a \u003cstrong\u003efive-week maceration on the skins\u003c\/strong\u003e without temperature control. Fermentation takes place in truncated conical vats made of Austrian wood, encouraging the natural development of the mass. Before bottling, the wine requires ageing for at least seven years in \u003cstrong\u003elarge Slavonian oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e, an essential step to refine its structure. To fully appreciate its potential, it is recommended to \u003cstrong\u003edecant for one hour\u003c\/strong\u003e and serve between eighteen and twenty degrees Celsius.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBorn in 1908 from the intuition of the Conterno family, this renowned wine, once labelled as “Extra Barolo”, was among the most sought-after by the intellectual elite of the time.
