Giacomo Conterno

Case Format: 6x75cl

Max score: 94.0

Giacomo Conterno is an Italian estate located on the outskirts of Monforte d’Alba in Piedmont, south of the Barolo DOCG zone. Best known for two great Barolos: the Cascina Francia and the Monfortino Riserva, both of which are long-lived and earthy The Monfortino Riserva Barolo is aged for at least seven years in very large oak casks called botti, avoiding excessive vanillin sweetness. Production levels for the Barbera and Cascina Francia Barolo reach 20,000 bottles each year. In exceptional years, around 7000 bottles of Riserva may be produced.

Monica Larner

The Giacomo Conterno 2018 Barbera dAlba Vigna Francia is showing nicely now thanks to the crisp fruit, cherry and balsam aromas that are coaxed out of Barbera grapes in the cooler growing seasons. Warmer temperatures before harvest help to bring out more of the purple and black-toned aromas you expect of this variety, with a little more fruit volume as well. In all, this vintage offers a more tapered approach that sets it apart from the richer 2019 edition and gives this wine a little more accessibility overall.
