The Story

The vines from which Giacomo Conterno’s wines are born are Guyot trained on hills with altitudes of up to 500 meters above sea level, which favor good temperature ranges, crucial for the development of the aromatic finesse of the grapes.

The lands where Giacomo Conterno’s wines are born are well defined and each cru gives a unique identity to each label.

The Arione vineyard is mainly calcareous and exposed to the South, and gives wines of great aromatic finesse and soft tannins, the more clayey Cerretta vineyard with exposure to the West, gives life to wines with intense fruity aromas of red fruits and vigorous tannins.

Finally, the Francia vineyard, which boasts calcareous soils and exposure to the West. From this vineyard Giacomo Conterno wines are born in which the best characteristics of the previous two are combined, giving life to wines of great elegance and freshness but also phenolic richness, flavor and aging potential.

This heterogeneity that can be found in Giacomo Conterno’s wines testifies once again to the extraordinary versatility of Nebbiolo, the symbolic grape of the Langhe, in renewing itself and becoming a sincere narrator of the terroir.
