RATINGS

93The Wine Advocate

...the very classic, structured 1996 continues to convey an impression of youth in its austere personality, revealing sensations of rich red fruit and mineral notes and what is certainly only the barest hint of its true potential.

92Stephen Tanzer

Impressively intense and powerfully structured, with penetrating, precise berry and mineral flavors.

PRODUCER

Giacomo Conterno

Giacomo Conterno is one of Piedmont’s traditionalist producers, and one of its most renowned. Founded at the turn of the 20th century by Giacomo Conterno, the winery passed to his son Giovanni in the mid-20th century. When he died a few years ago his son Roberto took over. Located on 35 acres in Monforte d’Alba, in Piedmont, Robert M. Parker Jr. calls the producer “the quintessential conservative, traditional winery that makes no concessions to modern-day tastes or the bottom line.” Parker added that Conterno wines “consistently develop into profoundly complex, multidimensional wines that stand the test of time.” The vineyards are planted to Nebbiolo d’Alba and Barbera d’Alba. Conterno’s signature wines are the Barolo Cascina Francia and Barolo Riserva Monfortino.

REGION

Italy, Piedmont, Barolo

Barolo is one of Italy’s greatest wine appellations. In fact many cognoscenti of Italian wines consider Barolo to be the apex of Italian winemaking. Barolo is sometimes referred to as “the king of wines, and the wine of kings” partly because until the mid-19th century Piedmont was owned by the noble House of Savoy, the historic rulers of northwestern Italy. And the Savoys had a taste for Nebbiolo. Nestled into the rolling hills of Langhe, the Barolo DOCG includes 11 communes, one of which is the town of Barolo. There are 4,200 vineyard acres in the appellation and since the late 19th century growers have tried to identify their best vineyards. By marketing some vineyards as better quality than others, Barolo producers have followed the Burgundian custom of making single vineyard, or “cru” vineyard bottlings. As in neighboring Barbaresco, the Barolo DOCG requires that wines be 100% Nebbiolo, a grape thought of as the Pinot Noir of Italy. Records show that Nebbiolo was grown in the Piedmont as early as the 14th century, and despite being somewhat finicky – it is late to ripen and easily damaged by adverse weather --- Nebbiolo makes highly aromatic and powerful red wines. Until the mid-19th century Nebbiolos of Piedmont were vinified as sweet wines, though that ended in the late 19th century when a French oenologist was invited to Piedmont to show producers how to make dry reds. Barolo was made a DOC in 1966 and upgraded to DOCG status in 1980. Barolos must be aged at least three years, at least two of those years in wood. Barolos are tannic and robust and generally need at least five years to soften into complex, earthy wines.

TYPE

Red Wine, Nebbiolo, D.O.C.G.

This red grape is most often associated with Piedmont, where it becomes DOCG Barolo and Barbaresco, among others. Its name comes from Italian for “fog,” which descends over the region at harvest. The fruit also gains a foggy white veil when mature.
