The Giacomo Conterno estate vineyard is situated on steep slopes, enjoying optimal sun exposure. The clay-limestone soils, rich in minerals, promote a slow and even ripening of the grapes. The vines, some several decades old, are cultivated with care, allowing the terroir's unique character to fully express itself. The diversity of microclimates in the region contributes to the complexity of the aromas and flavors of the wines produced, making each vintage a true reflection of its origin.

Owner and history

The Conterno family has been at the helm of the estate since its founding, with an unwavering passion for winemaking. Today, Roberto Conterno, representing the fourth generation, has preserved the family heritage while adding his own personal touch. His respectful approach to the terroir and his attention to detail make Giacomo Conterno wines essential benchmarks in the world of Barolo. Each bottle is the result of tireless work and a deep respect for tradition, guaranteeing exceptional quality and authenticity.

Vinification and aging

The vinification of the 2017 Giacomo Conterno - Cerretta follows traditional methods, with fermentation in wooden vats. The grapes are carefully selected and destemmed before being placed in the vats. Maceration lasts several weeks, allowing the aromas and tannins to fully develop. Aging takes place in oak barrels, often large ones, to preserve the purity of the fruit while adding further complexity. This meticulous process reflects the estate's commitment to quality and authenticity.
