A rising star in the southern reaches of the Barolo zone, Diego Conterno and his son, Stefano, craft elegant, lively Nebbiolo wines in Monforte d’Alba. Monforte’s crown jewel, ‘Ginestra’ in the hands of Diego Conterno – a native talent who grew up literally in this vineyard – is otherworldly. This single-vineyard Barolo wine, sourced from the ‘Sori’ or 100% south-facing portion of ‘Ginestra,’ is bold, beautiful and seemingly eternal.

Wonderful. Great depth and dimension. And balance. Black licorice, shoe polish, black fruits, orange zest and violets. Tuned earth. A meatiness in the mid palate. Pronounced, coating but fine tannins. A complete wine.
