The vineyards grow on \u003cstrong\u003eclay and limestone soils\u003c\/strong\u003e, a mineral composition that favours water retention and gives the wine a well-defined tannic profile and solid structure.

The Paolo Conterno winery manages its vineyards with rigorous agronomic care, aimed at enhancing the \u003cstrong\u003enatural expression\u003c\/strong\u003e of the land and the identity of Nebbiolo in this area.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it is produced\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe harvest, carried out by hand, takes place at the beginning of October. After destemming, the must undergoes a \u003cstrong\u003emaceration of 15-20 days\u003c\/strong\u003e, essential for the balanced extraction of colour and tannins. Once the desired harmony is achieved, the wine matures through \u003cstrong\u003eageing in French oak barrels\u003c\/strong\u003e for a period of 30-36 months, followed by a further rest of 6-12 months. To enhance its complexity, it is recommended to let it breathe for about an hour and to serve it at a temperature of 18-20 °C. Thanks to its vigorous character, it pairs perfectly with \u003cstrong\u003ered meats and game\u003c\/strong\u003e, roasts and mature cheeses.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFounded in 1886 in \u003cstrong\u003eMonforte d’Alba\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003eConterno Paolo\u003c\/strong\u003e winery has passed down an extraordinary dedication to viticulture through four generations.
