Red Wine: 1967 | Giacomo Conterno | Barolo

Absolutely stellar showing for the wine, soaring from the glass in a beautiful mélange of black cherries, game, white truffles, orange rind, glorious autumnal soil tones, woodsmoke, leather, a bit of road tar and a pungent topnote of roses and violets. On the palate the wine is deep, full-bodied, pure and absolutely complete, with a sappy core of fruit, great soil inflection, melting tannins and a long, complex and tangy finish. Just a glorious bottle of Conterno Barolo.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Giacomo Conterno’s 1967 Barolo was awesome. It was similar to the Gaja in the depth of its fruit, but with a more balsamic profile of mint, leather, spices and tar. During this era Conterno sourced fruit from Monforte and Serralunga, and this Barolo revealed the heft that is the hallmark of those villages. Notwithstanding the wine’s masculinity, the finish was sweet, long and sublime. This was an exceptional bottle.

• John Gilman: The 1967 Barolo Normale from Giovanni Conterno is a masterpiece. I once owned quite a bit of this wine and drank every bottle with great pleasure, but I have finished my cache up now and only cross paths with the wine when fortune smiles my way. After a bottle reported on back in December of last year that was good, but not one hundred percent pristine, I was very, very happy to drink from another perfect example of this magical wine.

Producer Information

The Giacomo Conterno company is a symbol of the excellence of Italian wine known all over the world. Its legendary Barolo Monfortino, Francia and Cerretta have indelibly marked the history of Langhe wines.The origins of the success are partly historical: the Conterno family has in fact produced wine for many generations since 1800. Subsequently, the modern company was founded by Giacomo Conterno in 1900, bottling the first labels in 1924. During the 1930s, when most of the wine was still sold in bulk, Giacomo Conterno’s wines were already recognized among the most prestigious in Italy. His Barolo was so well known that before the advent of Italian DOC laws, the maison’s flagship selection did not even bear the name of Barolo on the bottles, but was simply sold as ‘Monfortino’. Part of the fame of Giacomo Conterno’s wines is due to the extraordinary skills of his creator, Giovanni Conterno and now his son Roberto, who took over the reins and handed down the tradition with great humility, enthusiasm and passion. In 2018 Roberto Conterno, after a long collaboration, acquires the Nervi winery and its 27 hectares in the Gattinara area, to embark on a new enological adventure that has Nebbiolo as its fil rouge.
