The winery was founded in 1908 by Giovanni Onterno and has remained in the family ever since, with each generation carefully guarding the legacy of their ancestors. One of the most legendary wines of the house is the Barolo "Monfortino", an icon first produced in 1920. This wine, from the prestigious Cascina Francia vineyard, is made only in the best years and is one of the most sought-after and acclaimed Barolo wines in the world.

Giacomo Conterno's wines are characterized by their intense complexity, structure and enormous ageing potential. They are a pure expression of the terroir, with deep aromas of ripe red fruits, roses, tar, and subtle spicy and earthy notes. The traditional vinification methods, such as long fermentations and ageing in large Slavonian oak barrels, ensure that the wines retain their authenticity and depth, setting them apart from modern interpretations of Barolo.

At the heart of Giacomo Conterno’s success lies an unwavering philosophy of patience and precision. The winery strives to create wines that not only capture the essence of Nebbiolo and the unique terroir of the Langhe, but also wines that can be cherished for generations. Their wines are often considered the ultimate expression of Barolo, appealing to aficionados around the world with their power, elegance and complexity.

Under the leadership of Roberto Conterno, the founder’s grandson, the winery continues to strengthen its reputation as one of the region’s leading producers. Giacomo Conterno remains a beacon of tradition and quality in the world of wine, where every bottle is an heirloom that reflects the rich history and unique character of the Langhe region.
