Paolo Conterno, Dolcetto d'Alba L'Alto 2020

The grapes are crushed and destemmed immediately after picking, and are left on the skins in tanks for a week. Aged in tanks - no oak, the wine is bottled only when perfect balance is achieved, generally late in the spring following the vintage.

Immersed in the Langhe, with a panorama of unequalled beauty, situated in the historical “Ginestra” cru, our company is the house of our ancestors. It is here that we cultivate our vineyards, subdivided among the Nebbiolo, Barbera and Dolcetto varieties. The territory, the favourable microclimate, the felicitous exposure of the vineyards and a well-established tradition enable us to maintain a production of consistent top quality. Our most important heritage is not our soil, our vineyards or our wine cellar, but the concept of the perfect Barolo that we have in our minds, handed down to us from those who preceded us. This consists of the aspiration to perfection, achieving things starting from their true essence, mobilising all our forces and taking inspiration each day from our work, thus bringing to fruition all the aims that the Conterno family has been pursuing for four generations, always faithful to our true tradition.
