WINE DESCRIPTION
Diego Conterno chose a more traditional, natural approach to Nebbiolo after leaving the winery he co-founded with his cousins in 1982. In 2000, he began producing wines under his own name, fortunate to maintain a plot in Ginestra, Barolo’s most prized Cru in Monforte. Diego’s Barbera comes from the estate vineyard Ferrione, just outside the Barolo zone, with vines rooted in clay and limestone soils. This Barbera bursts with classic red fruit flavors, complemented by a faint herbal note and a brilliant, lively lift on the palate, showcasing Diego's dedication to authenticity and terroir.
