Giacomo Conterno is a Legendary producer in the Piedmont region of Italy, attracting a dedicated following for its steadfast traditionalist production of Barolo wines made from Nebbiolo grapes. Founded in 1908 by Giovanni Conterno, the winery is characterized by its dedication to maintaining rigorous traditional methods in its wine production. Currently overseen by Roberto Conterno, the third generation, the winery continues its legacy through meticulous grape selection from esteemed vineyards such as Francia (also known as Cascina Francia), Cerretta, and Arione.

Giacomo Conterno operates a 23-hectare estate in Monforte d'Alba, crafting Nebbiolo-based wines from their Cascina Francia and Arione vineyards in Serralunga d'Alba's calcareous marl soils. Their traditional approach features extended 30-40 day macerations and aging in large Slavonian oak casks, producing both classic Barolo and the historic Monfortino Riserva, which ages for a minimum of seven years.
