Giacomo Conterno traces its origins to 1908 when Giovanni Conterno opened a family tavern in San Giuseppe near Monforte d'Alba. First bottlings came in the 1920s, making it one of the first small Barolo producers to bottle their own wine. The legendary Monfortino debuted in 1924. Now run by Roberto Conterno, the estate farms 17 hectares in Monforte and Serralunga d'Alba. The Cerretta vineyard (3 hectares in Serralunga, purchased 2008) has western exposure and clay-laden soils, producing powerful, structured Nebbiolo with vigorous tannins. Traditional winemaking. First Cerretta vintage: 2008.

Antonio Galloni

95 points

"The 2021 Barolo Cerretta is the most approachable of Conterno's 2021 Barolos. It seems to offer a bit less overall dimension and complexity than the other Barolos and, therefore, more complete balance of its components in the early going that should allow it to start opening with a few years in bottle. There's plenty of underlying nervy structure, and yet the Cerretta is not quite as imposing as its siblings in this range. Floral and spice overtones gradually open with a bit of aeration." —Antonio Galloni

More about Giacomo Conterno

The Piedmont legend. Giovanni Conterno opened a tavern in 1908, made Barolo for it, and the first Riserva changed everything. His son Giacomo took over in 1934, and the estate's been making world-class Nebbiolo ever since. Monfortino Riserva is aged seven years minimum in huge botti—old school done perfectly.
