Few names in Italian wine culture can be mentioned in the same breath as Giacomo Conterno. Gaja, Bruno Giacosa, Biondi Santi; it’s an elite list of producers that can contend for the title of ‘best wine in Italy.’ The Conterno estate, now in the skilled hands of third-generation winemaker Roberto Conterno, gets our vote for the top spot. His Barolo is a truly world-class wine and a study in classic Nebbiolo, with the signature mix of roses, licorice, tar and spice, supported by sturdy tannins that require time in a cool cellar. The wines are epic in quality, rightfully deserving their spot in any serious wine collection.
