Cantine Giacomo Conterno is one of the biggest names in all of Piedmont. The estate was founded in 1908 when Giacomo’s father, Giovanni Conterno, started a tavern in the town of San Giuseppe. Giovanni made Barolo from purchased grapes and sold what was not needed for the tavern, as was customary throughout the region at the beginning of the 20th century. The Riserva Barolo Monfortino was bottled for the first time in 1920, produced by Giovanni and his son Giacomo upon their return from the war. The myth began like this.
