Langhe Nebbiolo doc A Mont Paolo Conterno 2016

The Langhe Nebbiolo “A mont” of Paolo Conterno winery is made with Nebbiolo grapes grown in Monforte d'Alba. This wine has a bright garnet color; its aroma is fruity and floral with hints of rose and ripe red fruit. The taste is well structured, voluminous, elegant and endowed with complex aromas. The Nebbiolo “A mont” is perfect to drink in combination with traditional dishes of Piedmont cuisine such as tajarin with meat sauce, roasts or seasoned cheeses.

 The history of the Paolo Conterno winery begins in the year 1886, when Paolo Conterno, a hard worker with the gift of great insight, used the Ginestra hill in Monforte, subdividing it by type, exposure and soil and began to grown Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto. He began making superior quality wines, vinified personally in his own cellar, in wooden barrels. Today, four generations later, the Conterno family continues to manage the company founded by Paolo Conterno with the same passion for wine-growing, using the most modern technologies always considering the tradition, in full respect of the territory and the ecosystem, taking care of the work in the vineyard and in the cellar. The annual production is about 80,000 bottles. Ageing takes place today as in the past: using French oak barrels of 35 hectolitres. The result is wines of absolute quality, among which are the 'Ginestra' Barolo and 'Riva del Bric' Barolo.
