Vines and names

The new vineyard purchased a few years ago by the Conterno family presents itself on the market with an exceptional Barolo, powerful and structured, with a very persistent tannic texture, and slightly more balsamic than the nearby vineyard France.

The 2018 Barolo Cerretta is a very pretty wine. Sweet, perfumed aromatics and beams of nervous tannin give the 2018 its focused personality. There is good energy and vibrancy here, if not quite the mid-palate pliancy that is typical. The 2018 is shaping up to be a decidedly understated Cerretta.

In particular vintages of selected Pinot Noir grapes from a medium-high hilly area are the basis of this great wine, the name of which underlines the origin (ANdriano) and the unique character (RARity) of the wine. The complex fruity structure, the slightly smoky nuances and the freshness until the end give it a majestic aging potential.

Via Nuova was the name of a small vineyard located close to the inhabited center of Barolo. Its name derives from the proximity to the road (new, in the last century) that connected Barolo to Novello. Of that road today only a path remains in the middle of the vineyards, which can be covered on foot. For years it was vinified in purity until the Municipality of Barolo, by reorganizing the...

This union has resulted in IGP d'OC wines of the highest quality made from Pinot Noir and Chardonnay, the emblematic vines of Burgundy. These carefully selected wines are the fruit of Burgundian know-how and Languedoc winemaking expertise.

Barolo Mosconi is obtained from the pure vinification of the oldest vineyard belonging to the homonymous property located in Monforte d'Alba. The terrain is typically Helvetian with an older formation. It is clayey calcareous marl with a slightly gray color, alternating with siliceous sandstones. In some areas the presence of calcium carbonate and iron gives a warmer chromatic note and a...

The name Saint-Romain Sous Roche already tells us about its limestone soil. Its 60-year-old plots, which cover 3 hectares, are rooted in the Saint-Romain marls. This specific cradle, nestled 300 metres up on the hillside facing the village, benefits from its height as well as the warm currents that caress the valley. This location gives Saint-Romain Sous Roche a fresh, high-altitude Pinot...

It is undoubtedly the most famous Barolo vineyard. The composition of the soil and the perfect southern exposure of the vineyard give the grapes produced here an extraordinary uniqueness. Here we find, homogeneously amalgamated, both the Tortonian and Elvezian soils, combined with a conspicuous percentage of sand that allows to obtain an extraordinarily harmonious wine. The olfactory scents...

The 2017 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is classy and elegant to the core. Medium in body and wonderfully translucent, the 2017 captures all of the finesse of this site. Naturally, the 2017 also shows the ripeness of the year, but it retains its sublime sense of poise. The 2017 Bricco delle Viole is one of the clear stand outs of the year.”

"The 2018 Barolo Bricco delle Viole is finely cut and chiseled, as it so often is. Dried flowers, mint, crushed rocks, pine and red berry fruit all grace this taut, sculpted Barolo. The 2018 has all of the energy of this site, but its signatures are decidedly dialed down." Antonio Galloni
