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.
