The King of Italian Wine. From One of Barolo's Greatest Communes.

Barolo is not just a wine — it's an argument for why Nebbiolo is one of the world's greatest grape varieties, and why Piedmont is one of the world's greatest wine regions. And Monforte d'Alba, with its deep, clay-rich soils and south-facing slopes, consistently produces some of the most powerful, structured, and age-worthy expressions of Barolo in the entire appellation.

Diego Conterno is a name that commands respect in the Langhe. This commune-level Barolo — sourced from vineyards within Monforte d'Alba — is a serious, cellar-worthy wine that rewards patience and deserves attention.
