G. Conterno, 'Cascina Francia' Freisa 1979

$150

Conterno Barolo is a legendary family operation. With viticulture roots in the region going back to the 18th century, their first bottling was created by Giacomo. At the time, Barolo was considered an early-drinking, every day wine that was sold in bulk. Giacomo, however, decided to produce something with serious aging potential. His first vintage is said to be the beginning of Barolo as we know it today and he named it ‘Monfortino’ after his home village. If you travel around Piedmont, this is the bar other producers hope to reach.
