Description
Diego Conterno, Dolcetto de Alba
A rising star in the Barolo zone, Diego Conterno and his son, Stefano, craft elegant, Nebbiolo wines in Monforte d’Alba. Trained by Piedmont legend Beppe Colla, Diego with his cousins helped establish Conterno-Fantino in 1982. He left the family project to start his own in 2000, bringing with him from his family’s holdings a nearly five-acre plot in ‘Ginestra,’ unquestionably Monforte’s top cru. His wines are made naturally, fermented on indigenous yeasts in neutral cement tanks and aged in traditional large oak cask (botti). All vines are cared for organically.
Aromas of purple and red fruits, licorice, warm spice. Full-bodied, round with plush tannins
