The Barolo aficionados
Established in 1886 in Monforte d’Alba, Paolo Conterno founded the Casa della Ginestra, a family run winery, that has now been dedicated to Barolo viticulture for four generations. Winemaking methods are traditional, and the wines are classic examples of the perfumed, rich but structured wine of which Barolo is capable in a fine vintage. The estate is renowned for creating wines which are the quintessence of traditional Barolo: rich, powerful, massively structured, and capable of ageing in bottle. The Conterno family has done justice to the terroir over the years, which is favourably situated on slopes up to 38% exposed to the south, and in part south east. This territory, favourable micro- climate, and well-established traditions, enable the family to maintain a production of consistent top-quality wines. Ageing takes place in French oak barrels with a capacity of 35 hectolitres.
