The 2020 Barolo DOCG by Diego Conterno, a highly respected representative of the territorial authenticity of the Langhe, is a beautifully elegant and structured Barolo red wine. The own plots of this idyllic winery in Monforte d'Alba create optimal conditions for the cultivation of the Nebbiolo grape variety thanks to the ideal soil composition and microclimate.
When they have reached their peak ripeness in October, the grapes are carefully hand-picked for further processing in the winery. Fermentation then takes place with native yeasts in a temperature-controlled steel tank. This process can take up to a month. The Barolo is then aged for 24 months in Austrian 50-hl oak barrels. It is then aged for a further 8 months in cement tanks. Finally, after a short storage period in the bottle, the Barolo is released for sale.
The seductive bouquet of this Barolo red wine promises a classic, pure and elegant wine! Rose petals, sweet red berries, fresh flowers, violets and a hint of cedar dominate. Conterno's wine is a traditional Barolo with the irresistible charm of this vintage , which is expressed in soft tannins, good energy and a lot of finesse . This Barolo makes every Nebbiolo heart beat faster! An absolutely exceptional Barolo at a fair price, which is also one of the best in its category in the 2020 vintage.
