In 1974, second generation winemaker, Giovanni Conterno, undertook the fortuitous and massively courageous investment in the 14ha monopole of Cascina Francia, in Serralunga d’Alba. At 400 metres above sea level, 4.6ha is devoted to exceptionally high quality Barbera and it is known as one of the finest vineyards in the region.

Giacomo Conterno

Giacomo Conterno

Founded in the 1920s, Giacomo Conterno is an iconic Piedmont estate currently owned and operated by Roberto, grandson of winery founder and namesake. Giacomo was assisted by his brother Aldo Conterno for many years before Aldo left to establish his own eponymous winery, pursuing a different style of winemaking altogether. 

Along with Gaja and Bruno Giacosa, the winery is considered to be one of the premier producers of fine Barolo. Cascina Francia and Monfortino (only made in select vintages and aged for up to seven years before release) are Conterno's top wines when it comes to Nebbiolo, but the team also make excellent Barbera a'Alba. The Nebbiolo are traditional expressions of the Piedmont terroir in many ways - long-lived and earthy with an elegant savoury character to match alluring ripe red and black fruit notes.
